TESTIMONIALS

“Thank you so much for this report, it is a remarkable piece of work that exceeded any of my expectations in respect of the quality and detail. History comes alive in the telling of stories.”

— A. Fisher, Kent

“Wow! You traced three new cousins all descended from my great-grandfather, from those photos I carry. My heart swells and I have a lump in my throat. You are a rock star of a genealogist!”

— C. Epstein, Bethesda, Maryland

“I asked Naomi to do a small amount of research on my paternal grandfather’s side of the family. She came up with a wealth of detail that was way beyond my expectations. The presentation of the material was also outstanding: a report providing a clear and coherent narrative, accompanied by a multitude of original documents and a family tree. I am highly impressed by her expertise and efficiency – and she is a pleasure to work with!”

— N. Pistrang, London

“Naomi, I just wanted to say, you do such amazing work.  I have been recommending you to everyone I know. I am really thankful for all the work you have done.  It’s been fascinating to discover more of my family history. You are very talented.  If I make it to Israel then a HUGE part of that will be down to the hard work you have done.”

— L. Merchant, Bristol

“Naomi unlocked a door for our family. What we found behind it was beyond our greatest hopes. From knowing only the name of my great-grandfather, stories and photos are emerging every week, filling in more details about the descendants of these Polish Jews who emigrated to America in the late 1800s.”

— Madelyn Postman, Buckinghamshire

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work and giving me closure, I just wish my father had lived long enough to hear his brother's story.”

— D. Woods, West Sussex

“I'm stunned. I don't know what I expected but already I'm amazed... and you say we have just begun to scratch the surface.”

— R. West, Brighton

“I gave Naomi a rough outline of what I knew about my family. What I didn't expect was the wealth of information that she came back with. Absolutely thorough and professional, Naomi is brilliant; I can't recommend her highly enough.”

— N. Woolley, Brighton

“Naomi managed to piece together enough information in the course of one afternoon, to solve a family mystery I had been struggling with for years. Her knowledge, resourcefulness and attention to detail are second to none, and she manages to combine complete professionalism with a real passion for the material she is researching. It’s been an amazing journey of discovery, and I can’t think of anyone else I would have wanted to lead me on it.”

— C. Glover, London

“With very sketchy information and limited confidence having attempted this earlier myself, I was absolutely amazed at what Naomi was able to achieve. In no time at all she had located some missing family, whom we are about to meet for the first time! She amassed so much information, filling in some blanks in our family tree. We can't thank you enough Naomi and I will tell anyone who wants to know, I can't recommend you highly enough!”

— J. Banwell, West Sussex

“Naomi is AMAZING... I have been engaged in genealogical research for 45 years, and in all my years of research, rarely have I come across someone who works with such a high degree of professionalism, efficiency and speed. Her level of expertise in the UK is unmatched.”

— M. Denn, Dallas, Texas

“Just to let you know, all your information was spot on. I have been in contact with my birth mother, we have exchanged letters and spoken on the telephone. She told her husband about me before she married and told her children some years ago. I plan to visit her in August. Thank you so very much for finding her for me”.

— Anon

“I couldn't be more delighted with the extraordinary research that Naomi has been able to do on my family. Both the sheer number of generations that she has been able to trace, plus the colour and interest that she has brought to their stories, are truly impressive. Highly recommended and we will definitely do some more digging in due course!”

— C. Lenson, London

“The research package for my mother in law went down a storm, thank you.  She couldn’t wait to phone her sister up and inform her of the family history. It was a pleasure to see her so happy. Thank you for your help and in such a short time frame.”

— M. Hitchcock, Surrey

“Thanks to your sheer determination and hard work over a long period of time, you were able to give me information about my family's past which I did not know about and give me closure. This meant a lot to me.”

— R. Barlow, Perth, Australia

“We will always be grateful to Naomi for bringing the American and English sides of our family together. Naomi subsequently looked into another branch of family, with very little information from us. The results of this gave our 89-year old Aunts the name of their grandfather and their Polish family history back to 1776! It is no exaggeration to say that Naomi's research has given our Aunts new lease on life and all the family a great gift. Thank you.”

— L. Gould, Chingford, Essex

“When starting research on a real-life story from 20th century Prussia, I realised I didn't know where, or how, to begin. My task has been made infinitely less daunting by Naomi and Research Roots. They have a superb grasp of the landscape and offer smart, informed & clear-headed advice. Any professional writer attempting to unpick and reweave real-life histories should give Naomi a call and make their own job a thousand times easier.”

— N. Jaworski (screenwriter), London

“You're very good at what you do and I wish you great success with it. You're offering a great service to people who want to know about their ancestors but who are put off by the complications of the process. You're a real-life Ariadne for people lost in the labyrinth of the National Archives!”

— E. Lawson, Brighton

“This is all so fascinating, I love the photographs. I have sent them to my family; they are equally as fascinated. Everyone is so excited to hear of our family in London and the opportunity for my mom to meet her first cousins. I want to continue working with you. I haven't had this much fun in years! I am so intrigued by this research, and we've only just begun. This is so much more than we could have wished for. It is so remarkable! ”

— S. Rapkin, Boston, Massachusetts

“It's pretty amazing what you did. When a friend starts a business, one is hopeful but never fully aware what it involves - the kosherness... But it's ace - the presentation, the discovery, the appeal - all of us loved it. One for the family to have forever.”

— J. Stewart, Los Angeles

“Naomi was a tireless and creative researcher. She unearthed information which my family had not been able to find in several years of research, and in a relatively short space of time. She also suggested new avenues for us to explore which had not occurred to us before, and she was unstinting in the amount of effort she devoted to our search. I could not recommend her more highly.”

— H. Harvey, New York
