Céad míle fáilte, I’m Emilie

I’ve been obsessed with genealogy and history since childhood

…and I’m thrilled you’re here

Why I care about the History of You

What began with me pouring over black and white family photo albums as a child (and my never-ending requests to “Tell me another story from the olden days Nan” ) – grew into me completing both a Bachelors and Masters research degree in History as an adult, and emigrating to Ireland with my daughter to work as a genealogist for the largest genealogy company in the world, Ancestry.com.

I’ve built my life around my love of history, and since falling in-love with Ireland, it’s the most fulfilling feeling in the world to now have built a business that combines those two loves, while helping my clients who share that affinity with me.

My pledge

I vow to provide each and every client with a full genealogical experience, leaving no research stone unturned, to connect the people of the present with the people of their past, to ensure the highest professional standard, following the RQG’s Code of Conduct at all times, to maintain frequent communication about the project and research, and answering any queries within 48hrs.

My beloved late nan, Doreen – the true founder of the History of You

 


Emilie is a genealogy genius as far as I’m concerned! The nuances and intricacies she managed to uncover about our ancestors floored me. She quite literally brought them to life for us. It’s been emotional! And quite frankly priceless for our family
