​Sylvia Valentine 

I started researching my family tree in the 1980s, then raising a family work intervened, although I continued to dabble as and when time permitted and I had helped lots of family and friends to get started searching their trees. As retirement from my “day job” approached, I decided it was time to put my knowledge and skills to work in a professional capacity. I also decided that I would undertake some study in order to obtain an appropriate qualification. After researching my options, I decided to take up the offer of a place to study for a Masters in Family and Local History by distance learning. 

I graduated in June 2016 and am now a member of Association of Scottish Genealogists and Researchers in Archives and the Register of Qualified Genealogists.  My research business is Recover Your Roots and I undertake research across the north of England and southern Scotland.  You can also find me on Twitter where I tweet as @historylady2013 .
