For some reason I started to become a lot more interested in my family's past when my now husband and I got married. I have quite a small immediate family and I have never really though about our heritage and origins until I started to think about starting a family of my own.

I decided that after the wedding I would start looking into my family's history, but first I had a wedding to plan! We decided to get married in my partner's home area of the West Midlands and because I'm not from around there I needed some help finding a venue for the big day. I was so pleased when I found www.civilweddingvenuesbirmingham.co.uk, a directory that lists all of the civil wedding venues in the area. it was so helpful and I was able to find the perfect venue within a few days.

The wedding was perfect and when I got back off of our honeymoon I immediately started looking at my family's history but I found all of the research a bit overwhelming. My friend suggested that I talk to www.familytreenorthampton.co.uk and I am so glad that I did. They did all of the research for me and I was so interested in what they discovered.
