Welcome to my
website!
I am passionate about local and family history. Multiple sources are searched
to construct family trees, then the family story is weaved around the bare facts, bringing in
information and pictures about locations and occupations. Clients are delighted with their personal
stories, as you can see on my Testimonials page.
My own family research started when I was a child and ranged from
Chirk in North Wales, Shropshire, Norwich, Ipswich, Kent and as far as Canada, where a couple of
great aunts were sent as ‘home children’. My extended family book can be seen on
the Family History pages.
I recently completed an MSc in English Local History with Oxford University. Course work
included elite kinship, culture and community, sources in the medieval and early modern
periods, and crime and punishment with fascinating studies of female convicts sent
to Australia. I studied the impact of transport systems on late Georgian Berkhamsted for my
dissertation. You can find information and links on the Local
History page.

Calabro Solutions Ltd
During my 25-year career in IT, I managed software implementation projects in
pharmaceutical, banking, field service and credit management industries. The most memorable and
enjoyable project was the 'Viking' implementation of SAP at Hoechst Marion Roussel. An enduring
interest was the production of professional business presentations and documentation, including a
Project Manager's Handbook. I edited a project newsletter and I was a member of the Editorial Board
for an in-house magazine.
Calabro Solutions Ltd provides business development and delivery
management services. Using an experienced contract resource can cost-effectively provide such
services on an as-needed basis, overcoming the need to recruit additional full-time staff.
This approach is very effective where the technology supplier has limited or no resource in a
specific geography. Read more about our Calabro company.
