About

Discover Your Roots. Connect with Your Past.

Welcome to Ancestry Connect by Sandra Bell, where I help you uncover the fascinating stories of your ancestors and bring your family’s history to life. With over 30 years of experience in genealogy, I specialise in tracing family histories across the UK and Ireland, turning names and dates into real people that connect you to your past in a meaningful way.

My Journey into Genealogy

My passion for family history began more than three decades ago as a personal quest to trace my own roots. I understand the thrill of uncovering a long lost ancestor, or discovering a new one, piecing together their story and feeling a deeper connection to who you are today. Over the years, I’ve developed extensive expertise in navigating records, deciphering old documents and delving into archives to find those elusive details that make each family tree unique.


Now, I’m here to share that passion and expertise with you. Whether you’re curious about where your family came from, looking to create a legacy for future generations, or trying to solve a family mystery, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.


What Makes Ancestry Connect Unique?

Specialist Expertise: My focus on UK and Irish ancestry ensures you benefit from deep local knowledge, whether I’m navigating parish records or tracing migration patterns.

Storytelling at its Heart: I don’t just deliver data. I craft engaging reports that bring your ancestors’ lives to life, complete with family trees, timelines and visual aids.

Professionalism You Can Trust: With a meticulous eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy, I ensure that every detail in your family’s story is thoroughly researched and verified.
