Greetings all,

Over the past few years, I have been commissioned to research or write the history of over 150 families. In some cases, the client wanted it for a Golden or Ruby Wedding Anniversary. In others it was for a Christmas or birthday present. And sometimes it was out of simple curiosity. Most of the families I’ve looked at originated in Ireland, but they have also been Irish-American, Canadian, British, British colonial, Danish and Russian.

I am now delighted to announce the launch of ‘Your History in a Book’.

The concept is straightforward. I will help you gather the basic facts of your family genealogy. I will then transform the history of your family into a colourful, living and readable epic. I will place each generation in the context of the times through which they lived, linking them to significant historical events and characters. The results can be assembled as a book or a website and, in either case, are fully illustrated with photographs, world images and maps relevant to your family’s journey through life.

If you would like to know more about ‘Your History in a Book’, please visit my website at www.turtlebunbury.com and follow the link.

Finally, fans of our best-selling ‘Vanishing Ireland’, shortlisted for the Irish Published Book of the Year 2007, might be interested to know that a second volume entitled ‘Vanishing Ireland – Further Chronicles of a Disappearing Age’ is to be launched at the end of October.

Cheerio for now,

Turtle
