Oxford Genealogy was born in 2009 when Olivia went freelance and was able to invest the time in other people's projects. This has gone from strength to strength and now includes providing advice on genetic genealogy and all the possibilities presented by DNA testing. In 2014 Oxford Genealogy was renamed Ancestories to reflect the emphasis of local and social history upon our work. The same rigorous genealogical research methods are still applied with the added benefit of contextual historical knowledge gained from an academic perspective.
