Investigative Genetic Genealogist
Record Agent
Tracey has over 40 yrs of research experience. Beginning as an RN she moved into Psychiatric Nursing including Child Development. Several years in other investigative fields then led to fulfilling her passionate further formal studies including the above. She is a formidable genealogist having uncovered several of her own 'family ancestral lines' that were unknown including two adoptions, three orphan ancestors that had been 'lost to history' for over 145 yrs combined, a child that was 'given' to other family, colonial convicts, and her own maternal grandmothers life long institutionalised life that for all intense and purposes was hidden within the walls of the Victorian Era meant to be lost for ever. Her 'personal' experience was a lived 'lack of family and knowledge' and what tiny piece was known was incorrect. Growing up in a badly broken family with nothing but 'guesswork' and given no information about where she or her parents ancestry came from her initial journey was one of uncovering stone after stone until she found her first solid clue and not giving up until she had proven each one over many years of hard work.
Tracey has amazing 'gut' instinct in her fields of expertise and her client testimonials are a shining example of her tireless work to uncover ancestors, write truthful unembellished, yet passionate and loving life story accounts for her clients that become 'living testimonies' for them and their descendants.
Her belief is that absolutely 'nothing' is as important as your family and its history, where you come from and who laid the foundations of life before you and for you are so important. Her legacy has been to be able to not only do that for her own three sons and now several grandchildren but for her clients who trust her to uncover their personal stories.
Tracey does a great deal of general genealogy and genetic genealogy. She also teaches small classes online via our website, her Speciality FB groups and er specialist area's are Colonial Convict Ancestry, American Ancestry including Colonial Convicts, Uk/Ireland/Wales/Scotland and Germany.
Floyd Walsh Brycet
Floyd Walsh Brycet.
An experienced Investigative Genealogist, writer and researcher. Floyd grew up in Amsterdam and then his mother divorced Floyds father and they moved to Germany. At 14 they moved again to the UK and at 17 Floyd was originally keen on library and restorative work and was able to work on local art and photos and since then has spent the last 27 years working in the fields of genealogy, local history and general investigative genealogy.
Floyd later found that he had two paternal half siblings that he did was not aware of until they came looking for their big brother. Their shared journey and ancestry took them down windy paths through the 1970s and beyond with a few unexpected twists and turns along the way.
Later Floyd became aware of a paternal grandfather, who as it turns out, was not a biological 3 x gg father and instead had been usurped in the line by a man who know one knew about. That brought in a whole new line to the family tree and Floyd went about setting the records straight!
After eighteen months of hard work researching he was finally able to locate the genetic line of this unknown man who he lovingly claimed as "Mr Debonair" and thanks to his perseverance brought together several family members who ended up sharing more than just geographical history. And whilst the 'new story' had to be written, Floyd never once negated the history of the original man in that line and thus ensured that 'both' men were noted for their roles in the family line without judgement or conflict. Thats a skill that many cannot bring forth when writing about one's own family tree let alone a clients, Floyd has a beautiful ability to do that for each client.
Things came full circle and with that in mind Floyd was determined to take on further studies in family history and thus a Family Historian was born!
Floyd is a kind, passionate soul who has a keen sense of being able to know when he is on the right track.
"I find it so rewarding to be able to not only find a person or family members but to then be able to write about their lives and the paths that they may have taken throughout their life journey and present that to a client is just so wonderful. To be privileged is an understatement and I hope that each client sees the passion and the hard work that goes into every single step along the way. It doesn't matter if Im simply building a base family tree with standard information or working on an in depth brief of one or more persons, the effort I and others in this team put in as we do so is I believe not matched anywhere else. "
Authenticity is our 'compass' at The Family Finders and that is just a given here. Our clients feel it from each of us and and we get to live it every day... it's just so good for the soul. Our passion is palpable.
