About Us
UK Generations is headed by Peter Aughton Dip RSA who has been researching family history since 1982. He is qualified at various levels in English history from the Middle Ages through to the 20th century, including an Advanced Diploma in Local History Studies from Oxford University.
Since beginning research in the days before the Internet, Peter has amassed a considerable knowledge of his own family roots. Linking with the research of other genealogists and their records from the 16th century, he discovered direct lineage going back as far as the 12th century. He has since explored several characters and events in the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th centuries for himself, both in England and Scotland. He has also carried out research for other families spanning 300 years, helping them discover people previously lost from living memory.
After observing how well such private efforts were received, he eventually decided to establish UK Generations in order to provide a range of affordable family history services that could benefit a worldwide audience of interested people, whether to help start research or to assist with ongoing research.
The aim of UK Generations is therefore to provide you with the benefit of our experience in tracing ancestors who lived and worked within mainland England, Wales and Scotland from c.1550 through to the mid 20th century. And we want to do this at a pace and affordability to suit you. We hope that our successes on your behalf may then help you go on to enjoy more genealogy discoveries - either with our support or on your own.
We are based in Rugby, Warwickshire near the heart of the motorway and railway system in central England, so travel to any mainland UK destination is usually possible. Although our research often involves locations spread throughout mainland UK, we are particularly close to all the historic towns and villages in Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Please see our "Focus on 3 counties" maps and a closeup map of our central location here.
We can carry out work for you relating to locations anywhere in mainland England, Scotland and Wales - just let us know where your interest lies.
High quality services are what we aim to achieve for you. We hope you will be able to recommend us in due course.
