Thank you for your email and the report. I’ve read through it multiple times. It’s very thorough. You have been able to move my project along in ways that I could not. You have both strengthened my own assumptions in some cases, but you have also corrected some of my mistakes. I feel much more confident in the tree I now have than I was before I contacted you. I am grateful for your expertise and tenacity.

Catherine researched my family history and uncovered an incredible amount of information about my ancestors, tracing different branches of the family through generations. Her attention to detail and determination to follow every lead really stood out, and the research was clearly explained and beautifully presented. Catherine has a real passion for genealogy and genuinely enjoys discovering the stories behind the records. I would highly recommend CK Genealogy Research and Design to anyone interested in finding out more about their family history. Ciarán Mc Donnell

I had a complex search for a grandmother from England who had in the 1920s vanished in Ireland and after years of trying to locate her I had no success. I was recommended to contact Catherine Kelleher at CK Genealogy Research and Design to carry out investigations for me. Using search information from both England and Ireland, Catherine had, within days, located and confirmed the place and date of her death and the grave location supplying a highly comprehensive report for which I am very grateful. An excellent piece of investigation very well done and I will certainly use the service again. Highly recommended. Margaret, N.W. England 2026

Catherine is very passionate & well experienced in the field of Genealogy. I asked her to look into my husband's & my family tree. We really enjoyed the experience & finding out so much about our families past. She also gave us a poster of our family tree, which is super as I'm a visual person. Her attention to detail & going an extra mile to ensure accuracy is next to none. Search no more if your looking for a genealogy researcher who is passionate & knowledgeable. Thanks again, Lisa O'Brien

I may be slightly biased as Catherine is my sister, but I have also had a front-row seat to the enormous amount of work she has put into researching our family history! She has uncovered ancestors, records and family stories that we never knew existed and has taken our family tree back through generations. What always impresses me is her determination to find the answer when a record isn't immediately available and the level of detail she puts into her research. Our own family history has certainly benefited from it, and I would happily recommend CK Genealogy Research and Design to anyone curious about their own family story.

Catherine researched my family tree and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She uncovered so much information about my ancestors that I would never have found myself and really brought our family history to life. The research was detailed, clearly explained and beautifully presented. I now have a family tree that can be passed down through the generations. I would highly recommend CK Genealogy Research and Design.

Catherine did an amazing job researching my Grandmother’s records.  I tried researching by myself and after exhausting all of the resources I could find I hired Catherine and for a very reasonable fee Catherine was able to create a very comprehensive report including information I was unable to find.  I would highly recommend using Catherine for researching genealogy.  She is an expert in her field.

I asked Catherine to look into my family history as I’d given up the will to live trying to fathom out the conundrum of my family line and banging my head against all those ‘walls’ I kept coming across.  
She worked tirelessly to help me understand where I’d gone wrong and managed to put my Irish ancestors in the correct order.  She even found members of the family that I’d never come across in my search!
She is professional, informative, very helpful and doesn’t seem to mind answering ridiculous questions from someone who questioned everything.  Her fee is affordable and I would recommend Catherine to anyone who is stuck on their search and needs the help of a professional. I am forever grateful to her for  knocking down a few ‘walls’ and allowing me to further my search with the aid of the new information she has given me.

I just want to say that Catherine is a very professional, thorough and patient geneologist. She has given me so much information on family going back so far that I never imagined i would have that kind of knowledge especially as irish records can be notoriously hard to find. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

Catherine did my family tree to the delight of my Father in particular.  She traced back 2 further generations than our family which we were unable to achieve.  The family tree was presented beautifully & the level of detail & supporting documents were amazing.  Catherine was a pleasure to work with, very professional & prompt with all the work she did.  I’m so glad I made contact with her & the information was gratefully received by my elderly relatives & it will be there for future generations.  Thank-you Catherine.

I was over the moon when I won a “Family Tree” from CK Genealogy. Having lived in South Africa most of my life, there was additional extensive research to be done. My late mom, being Irish, combined an exciting amount of emotions and gratitude. The knowledge and research presented by CK Geoneology opened many doors of interest as well as unexpected new direct family members! All this information has been invaluable to our family – THANK YOU! I would encourage any person wanting to explore their family heritage, to utilise the professional, efficient and welcoming services of CK Genealogy.

As a complete neophyte in the area of Ancestry Research, but as one very interested in my own forbears, I was recommended to try Catherine Kelleher’s CK Research. I found her very interested in research and more than ready to take on my own background story (and at no great expense, I might add). Finally, to my surprise and delight, she furnished me with meticulous charts of my ancestry on both sides. These went back into the 18th century. Clearly the work of someone fascinated by  such research and meticulous in following up on it.

I am grateful to Ms Kelleher (whom I look forward to meeting some day) and salute her interest and professionalism. She is great!

Catherine was very helpful to confirm I was on the correct Irish family who had been difficult to find for 20 years! My request to her was to confirm or redirect. Once she confirmed, she delved into resources to find more information for me. I am now looking forward to a visit this fall to the area where my Irish ancestors originated! Catherine was always prompt to communicate with me and was well worth the fee charged. Check out her services if you are searching for your Irish roots, too!

 

Catherine went above and beyond to solve a family mystery. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with family trees. She is professional , a wealth of knowledge , very diligent and hard working. She has made my mum and myself extremely happy , we are eternally grateful for her hard work.

Caitriona from west Cork 2020

“I first made contact with Catherine in 2019. We were both researching the same family from East Cork. We met through Facebook first and then met in real life soon after that. We were delighted to discover that our families had married into each others. We are cousins-in-law you could say! We have kept in touch since then. Catherine is very thorough in her research, and loves working with other family history researchers. She helps others with helpful tips, suggests archives, websites and other resources for research. I would highly recommend Catherine as a genealogist.”

I can’t recommend CK Genealogy highly enough.Catherine is a marvel at finding information. She got my trees further back in a matter of weeks when I had been trying for years. With my English and Irish trees my brick wall broken down. Errors in trees corrected. Graves found.I dont know how I managed before Catherines help.If you need a genealogist you really should contact this lovely helpful lady.

Catherine, let me add my thanks too. You put the finishing touches to my search some time ago. Remiss of me to have delayed so long. The access you have and your research abilities second to none. Thanks.
