Tree Without Roots - The Guide To Tracing British, African And Asian Caribbean Ancestry


About The Speaker

Paul Crooks is a trailblazing genealogist and published author with a specialist interest in Black ancestry. He pioneered Black genealogy research in the 1990s, tracing his own family history from London back six generations to ancestors who were enslaved on a sugar plantation in North America 200 years ago. Paul gained national recognition with his acclaimed historical novel "Ancestors" based on his family's story, and he has appeared as an expert on Black British genealogy on "Who Do You Think You Are?" with Moira Stuart. His second book "A Tree Without Roots" is a seminal guide to tracing Black British ancestry.

Paul is credited with inspiring an upsurge of interest in Black and British genealogy and has spawned an industry in African Caribbean genealogy.
