Unearthing your Ancestry

with Chris Wilson

Meet Chris 

Genealogist and Family History Researcher

Following a 38 year career in the British Army, Chris was finally able to devote his time and energy to his passion for genealogy. Focusing initially on his own family tree, which has links around the world, his services were soon in demand with wider family and friends where he honed his skills as a forensic and tenacious researcher.

​

Since embracing the profession full time, he has concentrated his expertise on family history, migration to and from the United States and Canada, and on the interpretation of military records.

​

Living west of London, he is an associate member of the Society of Genealogists and a volunteer researcher and archivist at the Royal Artillery Archives in Wiltshire.
