Eilir Daniels

Eilir Ann Daniels, BA (Hons)'s interest in genealogy began as a teenager almost thirty years ago. She gradually moved on from studying her own family history to helping others research their past and, as a result, has carried out research in all the major archives across Wales, including the National Library in Aberystwyth.

Having worked as an information and publications officer, Eilir set up her own research business - Your Welsh Ancestors - and has successfully traced the family histories of clients from all over the world, re-uniting many with long-lost relatives. Her clients include private individuals, international probate genealogists and television companies.

For her degree, Eilir studied the cultural and social development of modern society and now, within her research work, specialises in the effects of industrialisation on Welsh life during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and how specific elements of social history can influence Welsh family history research projects.
