About the study

The Whitehouse Family History Centre (WFHC) was begun by Keith Percy in 1981.  Since then, he has grown it tremendously and established it as a great resource for Whitehouse research. 

Like Keith, I am a Whitehouse descendant.  Shortly before a family trip to England in 2014, I thought to see if I could make some headway on my Whitehouse ancestors who had been a brick wall for me for 30 years.  I was stuck at my 2 great-grandfather, Dr Joseph Hollis Whitehouse, who had emigrated from Canada to the US and settled in Michigan.  His death certificate (1914) had an incorrect name for his father.  A few emails with Keith served to unlock my brain.  Within a few months, I was looking at Canadian records of George Whitehouse MD and Mary Coleman Whitehouse, parents of Joseph.  This enabled Keith to plug my branch into the growing network of WFHC family trees.  Then it was a simple matter to obtain from GRO the death certificate of Benjamin Whitehouse (1757-1840), father of George.  Grateful for this experience and recognizing the great value of the WFHC, I have been contributing modest efforts to assisting Keith in various projects ever since.
