Debra Carter has worked with Ancestry Pro Genealogists in London since its inception in January last year. Her main areas of expertise are England and Australia, although she also researches Ireland, the United States, Canada and Norway. She is particularly interested in the movement of people between those countries and women's stories within that. Prior to working with ProGen, Debra owned and operated her own genealogy business in both London and Melbourne, teaching adult's genealogy, researching for private clients and volunteering at a local historical society. Her love of genealogy stemmed from her mother's interest and early research which she took over around ten years ago. Her genealogical education includes the Advanced Diploma in Local History from Oxford University and distinction completion of the Certificate in Family History from the Society of Australian Genealogists. Debra is also a full member of AGRA, the Association of Genealogists & Researchers in Australia.
