About us
I help York families trace land ownership and property records to uncover the people, places, and decisions behind their family history.
Stories Held in the Land
Land records can connect family names to the places they lived, worked, and passed on. Based in York, York Land Roots helps people explore property documents and related records as part of their family history research, bringing care and curiosity to each search.
Every enquiry begins with the details you already have, such as a name, address, or approximate date. From there, research can follow the available records and their clues. The aim is to make complex documents easier to understand and give you a clearer picture of your family’s connection to a place.
Careful research
Follow documentary clues methodically and explain what the records can—and cannot—show.
Personal approach
Shape each search around your family questions, starting with the details you can share.
Clear findings
Present discoveries in plain language so you can understand their place in your family story.
Start with the property or person
Share what you know about a York property or ancestor, and we’ll identify a practical research direction.
