Is it possible to make a living in the UK as a family history researcher?

[Julie W]

I am fascinated by my own family history, and thinking of a change of career (my job is contract and will end soon). I know there are professional researchers out there, but what do you need to be a success at this? Is a love of the subject and a knowledge of where to look enough?

Sorry Julie, it is hard to make a living at anything here in the UK at the moment!
