A recent rise in interest for family history research has been the pilot for Black Cab Heritage Tour Guides combining our Knowledge of London skills with our guest’s own genealogy research.

Websites such as 'Ancestry', 'Find my Past', 'My Heritage', 'Family Search' and 'Find a Grave' have speeded up the exploration process – and even more so in periods of lockdown.

The British TV documentaries ‘Long Lost Family’ and ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ (which also has an American adaption) have further enthused new viewers to explore their ancestral past.

London’s National Archives in Kew, the London Metropolitan Archives in Clerkenwell, the Society of Genealogists in Holloway and the Mormon Church of Christ Scientists in South Kensington are all making the ‘joining of the dots’ much easier for everyone.

The annual Roots Tech Conference at the Excel Centre in London’s docklands provides even further encouragement for one of the world’s fastest growing hobbies.

Where were they born? Where did they live? Where were they schooled? Where did they worship? Where did they work? Where did they marry? Where did they die? Where were they buried?

Locations can be traced and found a lot quicker with a London Black Cab Heritage Tour Guide – who will be complimenting your location visits with a neighbourhood’s social history whether poverty stricken or well-heeled, and whether they left their lives in England behind for the New World.

So, share your key ancestry information with us, and our concierge team will work with you to realise your expectations on an emotional journey, and your host will enhance a truly memorable experience as you spend time at the sites and walking in the footprints of your ancestors to connect with your heritage.
