I recently noticed that my spouse’s family tree was in conflict with other trees on Ancestry concerning the identity of his paternal gr gr Grandparents. I found Ian online and contacted him for advice. With his experience and expertise in British genealogy he promptly solved the issue and provided us with copies of vital records and more, in a very timely manner. His rates are reasonable, too. I look forward to having Ian look into my own maternal lines in Scotland in the near future. Thank you, Ian. Keep up the good work!
William McCairney. Falkirk, ScotlandI can recall when I began my family tree journey way back around 1977, all of forty years ago. I would often think how wonderful it would be to find out where my paternal grandfather was from and if he had any siblings. I also used to think how great it would be to find any living descendants from that family. All my gran ever told me was that my grandfather died in the First World War and she re-married, sore subject, end of the conversation. Over the years I found a great deal about my mum's side of the family, but my dad's side has always been shrouded in mystery. Even with professional help from a qualified registrar, we only drew blanks. Back in the seventies all I had was my grandfathers' marriage certificate to my gran and then I found his father's marriage certificate at Register House in Edinburgh. After that I hit a wall and could get no further. Then about ten or twelve years ago I found my grandfather's death through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. After that I hit a wall again. No matter what I tried I just could not find anymore details of that branch of my family. I contacted Ian Hextall after finding him on Yell, the online Yellow Pages. Within two to three weeks Ian had uncovered my grandfather's birthplace, found siblings and descendants going back three generations in Ireland. (not easy to do)Ian has also found me one living relative at this stage of his search, living in America. I am completely blown away by Ian's thoroughness, his patience and his obvious skills as a Genealogy Researcher. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who is having difficulties with their own family tree findings or someone who is considering a family tree search from the beginning but wants it done professionally. Ian has done a sterling job for me, gone way beyond my wildest dreams, thanks again,

Ian’s assistance has been an invaluable help to me in my own family research. His knowledge of British sources is extensive and he was able to point me in useful directions when I had run into the proverbial brick wall that every amateur genealogist hits sooner or later. I especially like the fact that he insists on viewing original sources wherever possible rather than trusting someone else’s transcription. Ian and I have now been corresponding for seven years and I hope to have the benefit of his knowledge and experience for many more. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs help with their family history.

Ian is a great family man and has a lot of passion towards family history.

Ian your research into David's family tree was so enlightening.
We had been struggling with misconceptions about the time of the families arrival in Australia for years and yet within a few weeks your amazingly accurate research revealed all the answers.
Thank you so much - our sense of family history and continuity has been restored.
