Thank you Valda and Rosie so much for all your help. Could I just ask what exactly a Law Genealogist is? I have looked on the net and it came up with a Genealogist that has a law degree! would he have specialised in tracing someons lineage for inheritance purposes maybe?

Hi

The term seems to be placed with antiquarian. I'd speculate (therefore not sure) that it was a knowledge of antiquated laws as well as law of the present time which in the context of genealogy would be important for inheritance claims and lucrative with many such claims endlessly bogged down in Chancery. It wouldn't mean a necessary legal qualification. Advertising as a genealogist stating you were a law genealogist would hopefully get you more clients.
