are you interested in
your family history?
I’m Jemima Buoy and I have been researching my own and my husband’s family history for over 20 years as a hobby and as a genealogy researcher. I am fascinated with our British surnames, particularly our unusual & rare surname - Buoy. I also love the paleography (handwriting) that comes with researching.
​
On 7th September 2009 I set up Ardenholme Genealogy so that I could use my hobby & experience to research for you. This new-look website celebrates my 12th anniversary of the business.
​
I research in any area of genealogy/family history for your ancestors. Have a look around my website to see what I do.
