About Us

Fraser and Fraser
Genealogists and International
Probate Researchers

Our Head Office in London

Generations of experience

Fraser & Fraser has been conducting world-class research for over 40 years. We developed from the traditions and experience of Mrs Gertrude Christensen, who formed a genealogical firm in 1923, and have dealt with over 7,000 inheritance cases. Since 1991 alone, we have enabled our clients to inherit over £100 million.

 

Global Benchmark

Our partners work in Farringdon (London) with a team of researchers. With branches in Birmingham (UK), Manchester (UK), Paris, Warsaw, Krakow, Rome and Oslo, and an extensive network of agents throughout the world, we are in an excellent position to carry out professional research that meets the highest international standards.

Our local branches ensure we can offer a prompt and reliable service, and our global reach enables us to accurately trace families - even when a family member has moved beyond national borders.

 

Dependable Expertise

The quality and expert nature of our work is reflected by our membership of the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (AGRA) and of the Association of Professional Genealogists. Our partners are recognised as expert witnesses who are regularly called upon to explain specific details of probate to law courts.

LEXCEL
Legal Department excellence

Our in-house legal expert is a member of the Law Society. Our Legal Department has achieved LEXCELcertification. This ensures the smooth resolution of the legal complexities which arise from inheritance issues. We strive to use plain English in all our documents.

Our researchers and staff are trained and knowledgeable. Combined between them, they have over 350 years of cumulative experience.


The south side of our library

We have amassed a vast and diverse collection of historical records in our private library, which allows us to continue lines of research that would otherwise be impossible to complete. Combing these sources with our extensive use of custom-made technology, we are able to guarantee the accuracy of our findings.

We back this up with missing indemnity insurance which, you'll be please to learn, we have never had to use.

Our head office in London has been independently certified as meeting the highest international standards of:

ISO 9001 ISO 9001
ISO 9001:2005
Quality Management

ISO 27001
Information Security
