Advice please, have you used www.bdwfh.com?

I am thinking about using Bernard D. Welchman (www.bdwfh.com) to get some documents and do some research for me. He charges £13 per hour which is quite reasonable as it includes certain copies and some travel etc. but I don’t know if he’s any good!!

Has anybody had any personal experience with Bernard? His website sounds good but I can’t see anybody online mentioning him.

Alternatively could anybody recommend a professional Devon researcher to me?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.

Devon Family History Society at their admin office Tree House at Exeter can provide a list of researchers. Alternatively AGRA the professional collect of researchers will do so.

Hi Alison,

Thank you for your kind offer. I don’t want to take advantage of you as we have a few things we need but it is very nice of you to offer.

I have looked at various lists and I found a few researchers but I would really like to hear fro somebody who has used a Devon researcher.

Have you tried the free OPC project for Devon? See http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/OPCproject.html

Hi,

Thank you all for your help, I found somebody in Somerset who was able to do the research in the end.

Thanks again,

Emma

Hi Emma.

I was looking up Bernard Welchman and came across your request, albeit a bit old.  Just to let you know I used Bernard a long time ago for my Somerset research and he was brilliant.  He did a lot of work for me.  Hope this helps but you may be sorted by now.
