Professional Genealogist

Diane Grant, MSc, QG

Diane Grant is a Qualified Genealogist who attained a MSc in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde and is also a member of the Register of Qualified Genealogist. Her professional background has been in Music Publishing, for the past twenty five years. She is also a Director of a publishing company that owns the largest catalogue of Caribbean music in the world.

She is first generation born in Britain, to Guyanese parents. They were part of the mass migration to the U.K of Caribbean born British Citizens. They are now known
as the “Windrush Generation.” Diane experienced reverse migration when her family moved to Barbados in the early 80’s and she received her education there from the age of eight to sixteen.

Diane’s passion for research commenced with her own family history. Although she started from the age of fifteen, the seed was planted at an even younger age when she visited Guyana at four years old. She accompanied her great grandmother on this visit and became the recipient of great tales of her Caribbean heritage. Her keen interest is in researching all aspects of Caribbean history. She is determined to open the portal and widen the scope, for those wishing to venture into such research.
