30 Years Experience in GenealogyAfter many years conducting detailed research for family members, culminating in a family tree dating back more 1,000 years in some lines, and containing over 3,000 people, there were many requests to help people with their own family puzzles and problems. What had happened to their grandfather? There were family secrets that were only whispered about and people wanted to know the truth. The distant Maori cousin, who with two layers of adoptions above him, where did he belong? All solved quickly and efficiently through excellent research and communication skills.

Our GoalWe want to help you. Whether it is to know who you are. To find out who your ancestors were, or whether the stories you heard about them were accurate. To help you if you have questions about heirs to estates, or tracing potential passport entitlements. And, if possible, to deal with the sometimes tricky questions about mistaken paternity, artificial reproduction or adoption relatives. Know who you are and who you come from.
It is important to point out that, in rare cases, positive results cannot be guaranteed. No genealogist can promise to be able to find an ancestor or a document. Reasons include details like births not being registered, name changes, undisclosed adoptions or false paternity, lost or destroyed records. In the unlikely event that such a problem occurs they can take time to solve. You have our full commitment to achieving the best possible results that we can. If we cannot solve the problem we will discuss the options. |

We're Here for YouWe've dealt with all kinds of situations, including unearthing the truth about someone in the 17th Century who was sentenced to death, but who had been scrubbed from the family tree. We found all his details, including those of the tragedy that had unfolded. Or the client who firmly believed that their grandmother was French. Because the client was so sure they were right, hints that they were wrong had to be carefully, and tactfully, substantiated, through traditional family tree reconstruction, DNA, and interviews with other family members in Northern Europe who had known the relevant person. We can overcome most "brick walls", and we do so with sensitivity and dedication.
