Client reviews for family historian Sarah Smith at Unlock Your past.
Would highly recommend Sarah from Unlock your Past. She puts her whole self into creating a truly wonderful piece that can then become a family heirloom. Sarah managed to discover lots of things about our family that known of us even knew. If your looking to delve into your family's past and history, then your go to should be Sarah.
Sarah was able to solve a family mystery as to the link between Scotland and the family in Virginia who actually was part of the Jamestown Colony in 1651! Her diligence and perseverance to find the documents and data fulfilled a family legacy that had been lost but now is found. Thank you.
As we look back on 2024, I wanted to thank you for doing such an excellent job locating the family history information pertaining to William Thomson, introducing us to Professor Munro, and taking us to the likely dwelling of the Thomson family. We all had a great time in Scotland due to your efforts. Our family group is very appreciative of the profession services you provided to all of us. You created lasting memories for all of us.

I was amazed at the amount of interesting and relevant information that she was able to find, and I was delighted with her beautiful and clear presentation of the material. In addition to informative and easy to read text, there were many photographs, some of relevant documentation (eg newspaper cuttings) and some actual photographs of the people concerned. In addition, she provided useful references and recommendations for further research. I warmly recommend her service. Thank you, Sarah.
What a great service! Sarah treated my family history research as if it was her own. Such detail and information we didn’t know about my ancestors. Her family tree was well presented and family history book was lovely. Thank you Sarah
What a pleasure it was to work with Sarah! Not only did she effectively locate an ancestor with the minimal information we could provide, but she was able to directly connect us to the location he came from. We were fortunate to meet Sarah in person and found she is a delightful individual as well! We highly recommend Sarah and Unlock Your Past.
We are extremely pleased with the family tree Sarah has done for us, so much so she is doing my fathers. I commissioned Sarah to do my husbands family tree ‘Hynds’. We learned so much about an Uncle who was in WW1 and various family facts that he and his father did not know. Sarah is a very professional and a very knowledgeable genealogist. The family history book, family tree poster and documents we recent is so interesting, also a great gift to pass on to our children. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is interested in their past.
Sarah has researched twice for me, and she provided information of great value both times. First, finding a new family member and, second, breaking down a brick wall my family and I have searched for 20 years. Her reports are concise and easy to read. I could not be happier having Sarah research for me.
We highly recommend Sarah’s service. She did an excellent job in tracing our family tree and discovering articles and documents we would never have found ourselves. Sarah is very professional, efficient, and friendly. It has been a pleasure to converse with her.
