"Toni has been a pleasure to work with on our genealogical research.
The presentation of the finished report was superb and surpassed our expectations.
The research was clear to understand, source data was provided for everything,
and there was incredible attention to detail. It was clear that Toni had gone to great
efforts to provide us with a huge amount of information and she well and truly
exceeded the brief provided by us, presenting fascinating additional insights into
the history of our Founder. Toni has also continued to help us with enquiries, giving
us very helpful and sensitive guidance throughout".

"Amateur genealogy is fun but enlisting a professional is amazing. Toni's work for us explained,
which no one else's efforts could, why my Cheltenham forebears owned items suggesting a Jacobite past.
It was astonishing how far back she managed to get".

"Toni has carried out two major projects for me. The first was a professional commission into the
mysterious Founder of Battersea Dogs Home, Mary Tealby. Her work formed an important part
of the book I wrote to mark the famous institution's 150th Anniversary, A Home Of Their Own.
The second was a more conventional piece of research, into my family tree in west Wales.
She approached both in exactly the same way; with a blend of passion and professionalism, patience
and tenacity, delivering fascinating and surprising results. Who knew that the original site of the
Dogs Home is now an inner-city farm in Holloway or that I am probably a descendant of the original
Pirate of the Caribbean? She is forensic in her approach, yet hugely creative too; exactly what you
need in a high quality genealogist. I couldn't recommend her more highly".

"Toni did a genealogy for my mother’s family which I used as a Christmas present.
Our family originated in Poland and migrated to the U.S. The amount of information
Toni collected from all over the world was fascinating. Toni provided the information
on schedule, professionally and in a variety of formats. Most importantly she
revealed the life of my ancestors as a story, it was absolutely thrilling! ".
