Although now a professional genealogist, Beverly likes to consider herself more of a family historian and is passionately interested in the local and social history of County Down. While specializing in ancestral research in the County, she is happy to carry out research across the province and further afield as required.
Beverly is a member of the North of Ireland Family History Society (NIFHS) and a regular contributor to the Society’s ‘Roots’ journal. Currently, she is the Publicity Secretary for the North Down & Ards Branch.
