Bradley Dean Marchant
Researcher
Bradley Dean Marchant recently graduated from Brigham Young University
with a BA in Family History-Genealogy as a specialist in
British and Scandinavian research. He has successfully researched in eight
languages, spending many hours using Latin American and
Southern European sources. Bradley has completed archival research in England at
both the National Archives and several county record offices. He
recently returned from a research excursion in Venezuela (see photograph) where he
interviewed a client's relatives, wandered cemeteries and journeyed to
civil registration offices.
Known for his palaeography skills and his love of deciphering foreign
languages, Bradley enjoys a difficult challenge when it comes to
reading unusual handwriting.
Bradley has successfully traced several of his family lines back into the
1650s in the Yorkshire Dales. A proud descendant of the small village
of Giggleswick, he maintains an online blog for those researching this
area of England. He has assisted dozens of other descendants of this
village in locating their own roots, including a few who turned out to be his own
cousins. He created one of the first websites to train
beginners in researching their Venezuelan roots. Victorian Lancashire
cotton-weaving families, life in English workhouses, and the southern
tip of Sweden are of personal interest to him as he researches his own
family.
Always a student, Bradley is currently teaching himself some basic
German and Slovakian research.
