Carolyn Felgate, BSc (Hons)

Carolyn joined Anglia Research in 2005, having returned from a year travelling the world. With a background in publishing and insurance, including claims negotiation, she was well-placed to transfer her administrative and team-working skills to the world of probate genealogy.

She has a talent for untangling complicated tax issues, very old estates and family trees that extend around the globe – and she’s the go-to expert on cases that have complex Australian or New Zealand connections.

I enjoy the flexibility of the work I do, the fact that you never know where a case is going to lead and being in a position to spark an interest in genealogy with potential beneficiaries.
