Branchlines and our link with Looking Back

Branchlines is a family business set up by Frances and Malcolm Daniels.

Malcolm was involved with research for twelve years for a major tobacco company soon after leaving school, later becoming an I.T. professional.

Frances and Malcolm became interested in Family History on a personal level in the late 1980's. Frances has written two books about branches of her family and is currently engaged on a third. Together we have visited more than thirty record repositories mostly in the United Kingdom, but also in Southern Ireland. We have a wealth of experience, which we have now been using to help others to discover their ancestry for nearly a decade.

We have an associate company, Looking Back, who carry out family research in the East Midlands. There is a family link between Branchlines and Looking Back. Although the two businesses are over 150 miles apart, we have close family ties, with Frances, a partner in Branchlines, and Angela, a partner in Looking Back, being sisters. Each company benefits from our shared experiences.
