Yes. I’ve successfully helped many people identify and reconnect with unknown family members using advanced genetic genealogy techniques. I work sensitively and thoroughly to guide you through the process.

This depends on the scope of the project. Small investigations may take only a few days, while larger family trees or DNA brick walls can take longer. I’ll give you an estimated timeline at the start.
If certificates, travel to archives, or DNA tools are required, I’ll always let you know in advance. That’s why I’ve included this in my Family History FAQs, to give you clear answers before we start your research journey. No surprises — just transparent pricing.
Yes, all birth, marriage, and death certificates obtained as part of your research are included and sent to you.
Certainly, family history research makes a thoughtful, lasting gift. I can create a beautifully presented report or tree in a format of your choice — see my Presentation Options for ideas. If you’d like to give research time as a present, you can also purchase a Family History Gift Voucher.
I’ll always be honest about what’s possible. If records don’t survive or a line proves untraceable, I’ll explain why and suggest alternatives. You’ll still receive a detailed report on what was searched. You can find more about how my services work in my Terms of Service.
