Having researched my own family history for over 40 years, I have also now worked on well over 100 family histories uncovering some wonderful family stories and some secrets along the way! I have also published 3 books on my own family history as well as a couple of compilations of forgotten family stories from the research work I have done for others.

THE JEMIMA HARTFORD PROJECT
This project has taken on a life of its own.
It started with my Victorian alter ego, Jemima Hartford, researching intriguing Victorian newspapers articles with ChatGPT, and reporting her findings in a series known as Jemima Hartford Investigates Victorian Mysteries.
Jemima, based in Canterbury, was then joined by her younger sister, actress Bella Mead, to discuss local Kent stories in a series known as The Curious Cases of Jemima Hartford and Bella Mead.
But then Jemima’s work expanded into a number of historical numbers. It also includes her Memoirs in 5 parts (1855-1923)
