Ancestors & Heirs - Family & House History Research

Ian Hilder has been a full-time professional genealogist for over 30 years. He founded 'Ancestors & Heirs' to answer the growing number of requests for assistance with family history research, house histories and next-of-kin research. His research is backed by full AGRA membership (The Association of Genealogists & Researchers in Archives) and he is also a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists. Based near Lewes in East Sussex Ian can help you get over a "brick wall" in your family or house history research or put together a full history including charts and presentation booklets.

Ancestors & Heirs has carried out research for many legal bodies including solicitors and the Public Trustees offices of Tasmania in Australia and British Columbia in Canada.

Ian has recently published the well-received 'Great War Barcombe - News from a Sussex Village 1914-1919' covering the lives and activities of an agricultural community during the First World War.
