“After trying for years to figure out my family history but getting stuck I found Emma online whilst looking for genealogists. She did an amazing work finding out the parts that I couldn’t and more including an adoption I had no idea existed. She was very thorough and professional and answered so many questions that had been left unanswered for so long. Thank you Emma, I’m so glad I chose you to research into my family “
Ellie Pickett – England
“So wonderful you have been able to trace back the line to the early 1600’s. Such a common name in that region of Belgium, doing this is a real accomplishment.” Thanks.”

“Working with Emma was an absolute pleasure. For many years, I have been researching the life of the artist W.T. Horton, who was born in Belgium to English parents, but I had struggled to piece together the details of his early life and why his parents had emigrated. Through careful archival work in Brussels and an expert understanding of local records, she managed to reconstruct an extraordinarily detailed picture of his father’s life, including property records and police reports that could only be found in the original French, in local archives. Without her careful in-person investigation, these details would have always eluded me.
Her report was meticulously presented, with full citations, transcriptions, translations, and historical context throughout. It exceeded every expectation I had when commissioning the work.
Although only a fraction of Emma’s discoveries will find their way into my forthcoming book on W.T. Horton, her findings have filled in major gaps in the family story and opened up new avenues for research. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone undertaking serious genealogical or historical research in Belgium.”
