Why Have I Been Contacted?

When a person dies without making a will (intestate), it is necessary to trace the next of kin to that person. Usually the services of a firm of genealogists are not required as the extent of the entitled next of kin are known. However there are occasions, such as this, where the next of kin is not known. It is common for families to lose touch over the years, or for parts of a family to relocate to another area or another country. In these circumstances it may be necessary for a firm of professional genealogists to become involved.
