"We found Frances Black when looking for help with family history research in Laurencekirk. Frances provided a free of charge initial check on our Macdonald family and we were delighted with her immediate response. It was as though she personally knew our ancestors and the results in some areas where we had been struggling, were highly praiseworthy. In essence, the initial work reviewed our family tree and identified areas to go forward as well as clarifying several areas where we may have missed ancestors.

 During this period, Clare's family decided to hold a family reunion in England and we decided to attend and extend our visit to Dundee and Laurencekirk. We met Frances and spent the day in part at the Tay Valley Family History Society's rooms and then off to the Black's wonderful farm. We left for more travel in and around the Laurencekirk area for 3 more days and have since commissioned more work based on recommendations from Frances. We received great value for money, found more family members and clarified several key family members critical details. In addition, we gained a friend in the home of my ancestors."
