Tracing Lineages with
Accuracy and Integrity
My story, mission, and values
Compass and Covenant Genealogy was founded to offer professional genealogy research to all and to heal me!
I bring a rigorous, methodical approach to tracing family lines and DNA origins. Driven by a passion for ancient history, Roman archaeology, and Greek culture, I combine deep historical curiosity with a sharp ability to map complex connections that others often miss.
My expertise is built on a high-level career in information management, document control, and asset integration for major infrastructure projects. This foundation makes me naturally conscientious and thorough. When navigating DNA data and centuries-old archives, I rely on meticulous, side-by-side comparisons and a cautious, step-by-step approach to ensure absolute historical accuracy.
As an integrative thinker, I maintain the highest standards of document control for your familial artifacts and ancestral lines. My dedication to facts and organised methodology makes me an invaluable guide for anyone looking to uncover the definitive truth of their heritage.
Why now?
This career transition stems from a deliberate break focused on self-discovery and therapy. Recent psychological profiling helped me identify exactly how I operate best.
I excel at integrative creativity - spotting patterns across disparate concepts, brainstorming, and solving complex layout puzzles. My mind thrives in structured environments with clear workflows, templates, and explicit rules. Conversely, chaotic social settings and un-templated administrative tasks cause sensory depletion.
This realisation has led me unequivocally to archival work. Tracking human narratives through historical documentation provides the precise structural sanctuary and cognitive stimulation I need to excel.
"My cognitive profile bridges deep analytical empathy with structural rigor. I possess a natural affinity for weaving fragmented historical data - such as land deeds, parish registries, and census records - into cohesive, logical timelines without the burden of real-time social or sensory noise."
While my passion lies in historical research, my career to date, demonstrates that I am not a novice to rigorous information architecture. As a Document Controller and Asset Integration Advisor for market leaders such as Skanska, Morgan Sindall, and Balfour Beatty, I have spent years managing highly regulated technical databases. I am an advanced user of enterprise documentation environments. The precision required to audit technical part numbers, cross-reference supplier contracts, and manage legal asset handovers on multi-million-pound Heathrow infrastructure projects is fundamentally identical to the discipline required to index historical records, map old land deeds, or verify complex ancestral lineages.
My unique blend of corporate document compliance, advanced database mastery, and highly focused conceptual problem - uniquely suited to support your ancestral conundrums.
"There is something profoundly grounding about the horizon I’ve set for myself: trading the relentless British humdrum and all seasons in a day for the warmth and slow, vibrant life of a Greek village. Moving from a quiet rental to full residency and citizenship is the 'North Star' guiding the growth of Compass and Covenant Genealogy. Because my business is built to be entirely location-independent, it serves as the perfect vehicle to fund this transition. I am pouring my heart and enthusiasm into making this dream a reality, one archival search at a time."
