Welcome to my website Joanne Genealogy. I’m Joanne and I am a Qualified Genealogist, family historian and researcher. My background is in Human Resources (HR) and business support.
I specialise in East & West Midlands genealogy and ancestry, for Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and surrounding UK counties and I have been researching my family history for over 25 years.
I have completed the PG Certificate, Diploma and Master’s Degree (MSc) with the University of Strathclyde in Genealogical, Palaeographical and Heraldic Studies in 2023.
Currently, I am working on PhD research and therefore are not currently taking on paid work, but happy to take enquiries and pass them on through my extended network.

I am a Director of the RQG – Register of Qualified Genealogists and an Associate Member of AGRA.
Please contact me if something I am researching catches your eye and you wish to collaborate about the subject. I am active on social media @joannegenealogy
Alongside family history, I specialise in social UK history, 19th & 20th century industry, occupations, and travel. My current research is focused on social women’s history including the Temperance Movement in Great Britain and women’s activism and campaigns. My research website is currently in development and can be viewed at htpps://temperancehistory.com
