THE ART OF ANCESTRY
WHAT WE DO
Sifting through the sands of time, we unpick the messy patchwork of individual family histories. We weave these precious stories into the context of world history to uncover a family’s identity and cement its place in the wider world.
Working with renowned historians, genealogists and DNA experts, we research, discover and interpret family histories, painting ancestors onto the broader canvas of the world they lived in, often revealing how their lives and choices continue to echo in the present.
When people are presented with these stories, sometimes uncovering tragic or unbearably poignant periods, they are usually profoundly moved. Often it changes the way a family thinks about itself and how it interacts with the world. These are real legacies we bring to light.
Family legacies
for the very
few.
WHO WE ARE
For the last twelve years, we have delivered beautifully produced family histories for ultra high net worth families around the world. The work is led by the Emmy Award winning executive producer of the American series of “Who Do You Think You Are?”, who has taken some of the world's most recognisable people on their ancestral voyage of discovery.

“I was told that understanding the family history can be a source of great healing and strength and also helps to pass the spirit of the family down the generations. This was certainly true for me. The leather binding and presentation are a bonus, and make the book into a work of permanence and beauty.”
