The work of the family historian and the local historian overlaps in
many ways. You really cannot research your family origins without taking
some sort of look of the background story - where they lived, the
times in which they lived, and so forth.
And because the task of the family historian is to provide as full as
possible a picture of the ancestors of interest, many of the same
sources that the local historian examines come under scrutiny.
Therefore, even if your interest is not primarily in genealogy, we may
well be able to help. If you have some local history or general research
query, then even if it does not have a genealogical angle to it, please
feel free to get in touch.
