Welcome to Regency Relatives. Here you’ll find family history, social history, research guides, and the occasional historical rabbit hole. Whether you’re looking for practical genealogy advice, interested in the lives of those who came before us, or seeking help with your own family history research, you’re in the right place.
Grab a cup of tea and join me as we delve into the archives, untangle family mysteries, and occasionally wonder why every other 18th Century ancestor seems to be called John.
Looking for a rather good Christmas present?
If you’re shopping for someone who already has quite enough stuff, give them the chance to discover a story they don’t already know.

MEET THE RESEARCHER
I’m Lisa, a family historian with a particular interest in Regency and Georgian lives. I spend far too much time in archives, drink alarming amounts of tea, and occasionally discover that an entire branch of a family tree is based on an assumption I made in 2007.
