Our company name, Achievements, which we have been known by for more than half a century was devised as a play on words.
Every family tree that we produce is the result of thoughtful analysis, careful planning and meticulous research. Each and every one is indeed an achievement!
But the word “achievement” has another meaning, too. Achievements was constituted as the research arm of the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies – and heraldry is implied in our title, for an achievement is the proper term for a display of the coat of arms together with all the other heraldic accoutrements of an armigerous gentleman.
So, our name Achievements connotes in a single word both of our principal research activities.
