Do Genealogists work as part of a team?

Nick Barratt (Genealogist) gives expert video advice on: How do I become a genealogist?; What qualifications do I need?; How many years will I have to train for? and more...

Genealogists often work as a part of a team, because they have complementary skills. It depends on the nature of the job. I certainly employ a range of genealogists, and we work as a team depending on the projects involved. We tend to do quite a lot of media work, and obviously TV programs. These media outlets now really look at genealogists as a way of telling different sorts of history. But you will also get a lot of soul trades if you like, single record agents. We'll know each other, we'll work in the same field, but there is the element of competition as well.
