WHO WE ARE
Established in 2003, Brother’s Wish comprises husband and wife team, Saul and Leanne Marks.
Saul has been a professional genealogist for over 15 years and has appeared on TV many times. He featured in the BBC’s series Heir Hunters from 2009-18 and subsequently on “A House Through Time” and “The Empty Housing Scandal”. His wife Leanne has worked with him on and off for over 10 years.
WHAT WE DO
Brother’s Wish Genealogy Service will undertake any kind of genealogical research.
We can trace whole families of ancestors (assuming the records exist), or just those you’re interested in. Some clients want just a single question answering, such as the name of a grandfather, while others want a complete family tree. Whatever type of research you want doing, we can do it.
WHERE WE WORK
We are based on the Wirral but regularly undertake work from right across the world, with a range clients having ancestry in Liverpool, so they ask us to check local or community records for their ancestors.
As well as our work for individual clients, we also work in probate genealogy, tracing the next of kin of people who have died intestate, which has seen us featured on BBC show Heir Hunters.
“Brother’s Wish has been a wonderful source of family information for me. Saul has not only provided a wealth of family data for me, but has done it in a timely and gracious manner. This is “service above and beyond”! I am happy to recommend them.”
“Saul could not have been more helpful, gracious and supportive. The ease with which he unearthed all the details and traced two of my grandparental branches back to the early 19th century was astonishing. I would recommend the services of Brother’s Wish to anyone.”
“When Saul began researching my family history, he found out more in an hour than another expert found over four months. His enthusiasm for each individual project is boundless and infectious and he made my own family tree come alive!”
“When I asked Saul to research my family tree, I did not expect him to be able to go back very far, as my grandparents came from Russia, Poland and Lithuania. If you are looking to trace your ancestors, I highly recommend Saul and his company, Brother’s Wish.”
My mother had never met her biological father which meant I had not met my grandfather. I gave Saul a call and within days he had sent me plenty of information and places to start searching. I trusted Saul to approach my family members personally to let them know they had family searching for them.”
“I would like to say a big thank you for all you have done to find my dad. I tried to search for him years ago, to no avail, so not for one minute did I think you could help but, every step of the way, you kept me informed. And, true to your word, and with the help of Bruce in New Zealand, you found my dad’s family.”
“Many thanks to Saul and Leanne at Brother’s Wish Genealogy Service. They quickly and skilfully found family members for my half-sister and me. Their report was very clear and explained their results fully. It was a real pleasure to benefit from their professionalism and expertise.”
