Hire an ‘Anstey’ Researcher
Rather than ‘reinvent the wheel’ researching your ‘Anstey’ ancestors, why not hire an ‘Anstey’ expert who likely has already discovered much of what you seek. Check out the ‘Anstey’ Shop for more details.

We make a bold statement – the story of the ‘Anstey’, Ansty’, ‘Anstee’ and ‘Anstie’ family, from the origin of our surname in 1143 right up to modern times, is now known. The aim of this ‘Anstey Story’ website project, which now has in excess of 1,800 webpages, packed full of ‘Anstey’ information and biographies, is to make this information available to anybody so interested, and keep expanding it over time.

G. M. Anstey (Gary) and T. J. Anstey (Tom) are the overseers and chief researchers of this project, who have between them conducted many thousands of hours of ‘Anstey’ surname research, and co-authored numerous books on the Ansteys (see The Anstey Shop for more details on how to purchase).

Gary is also the coordinator of the ‘Anstey’ surname One Name Study at the Guild of One-Name Studies, a charity which is “the worldwide centre of excellence in one-name studies“.

We are always happy to add reliable Anstey surname and/or sub-branch research to this project. Please contact us at research@theansteystory.com if you are interested in sharing your Anstey findings.
