The Founder

Ancestry Solutions began its existence during 1990 as The Family Historian.  Established by Susan D. Young she brought to this venture her wealth of meticulous research skills, knowledge, and experience honed over 20 years in the demanding and precise field of law.

For as long as she could remember, Susan had always been keenly interested in family history.  As a child, her maternal grandparents would often tell her little stories about life in England; the feisty ocean-going family from Kent and the strong-willed yeomen and squires of Devon. Through these stories and through the absence of forthcoming knowledge of her paternal Young family, Susan was spurred to embark upon a course of personal ancestral discovery.  It was not long after that personal voyage began that Susan realized that the skills and knowledge that she had gained in her professional life would be extraordinarily useful in producing results in her personal quest.  Susan's voyage of ancestral discovery began during 1983, some 30 years ago.

Fascinated by the volume of documents available, Susan delved further into the past and realized that something more was needed than just cold genealogical data to bring her ancestor's to life. Thus began another quest, to locate, research and collect social historical information pertaining to her ancestors and the birth of three specific and independent research projects followed suit. Over many years of gathering massive amounts of information about Kent, England; Ontario and Newfoundland and its people, Susan created several independent databases. The largest of the three is by far the East Kent Families Database with more than 459,000 unique entries. Of course this database is not complete and it seems almost every day another find is added to it. Smaller proprietary databases have also been built for Ontario Families and Newfoundland Families developed out of special interests of other family members.

Susan also quickly realized that there were many novice and amateur family historians who could benefit from her many years of unique experience.  During 1986 she volunteered her services to a local private genealogical research library.  In 1989 she accepted the appointment as the British and European Research Specialist for that same library, a posting which continues to this day.

In all, Susan brings to this venture over 43 years of combined legal and genealogical research experience, 14 years of editorial and copywriting experience, 7 years of experience as a seminar lecturer, and 6 years of experience as a genealogical class instructor.  For more information about Susan and her genealogical experience please review her Curriculum Vitae.
