Our Services

Choose the path that fits your journey — from a free consultation to full-service research.

Free Discovery Call

A complimentary 20–30 minute consultation to review your goals, discuss your current research, and explore next steps.

Learn More

Your journey begins with a complimentary 20–30 minute consultation — available by phone, video chat, or face-to-face meeting when possible. This first step is about getting to know your goals, reviewing what you already have, and outlining a clear path forward.

During our conversation, we’ll talk about what brought you here — whether it’s searching for unknown parents, breaking through a brick wall, or learning to map your DNA. We’ll review your DNA results, family tree, or research so far, and identify where the biggest opportunities (and challenges) may be. I’ll explain what you can expect from each of my services, answer your questions, and help you decide what next step is right for you.

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with more clarity about your family research and the confidence to continue your journey — whether that’s through self-guided research, coaching, or a full-service project.

1-Hour Intro Consultation

A deeper dive into your DNA results and research for focused analysis, strategies, and an action plan.

Learn More

The Introductory Consultation is a one-hour working session, available by video chat or in person, where we go beyond the basics and start solving problems together.

During this meeting, we’ll:

Take a detailed look at your DNA matches and family tree.
Identify likely relationship paths and where the strongest connections are.
Explore strategies for overcoming brick walls, including records research and DNA tools.
Clarify which next steps will bring you closer to answers.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer plan, specific action items, and confidence to move forward — whether continuing on your own, with coaching, or moving into a full-service project.

Coaching & Training

Ongoing guidance to help you learn and apply genetic genealogy methods with confidence.

Learn More

The Coaching & Training option is designed for people who want to stay hands-on with their research, but need expert guidance to navigate complex tools and methods.

Coaching sessions are flexible — they may include:

Learning how to use DNA tools like clustering, chromosome mapping, and triangulation.
Building or improving your online family tree for better DNA integration.
Troubleshooting confusing DNA matches and untangling unexpected results.
Step-by-step walkthroughs of resources like GEDmatch, MyHeritage, or Ancestry.

You’ll not only make progress in your own research but also build lasting skills. Many clients choose coaching to combine professional insight with their own sense of discovery.

Full-Service Projects

A comprehensive research project where I do the heavy lifting to answer your questions.

Learn More

For those who prefer a professional to handle the details, the Full-Service Project provides end-to-end research and analysis. I combine DNA results, documentary records, and investigative techniques to uncover the story behind your ancestry.

A full-service project typically includes:

A review of all available DNA results and family records.
Targeted research into the most relevant family lines.
Written analysis and a clear, well-documented report of findings.
Recommendations for further research and next steps.

This option is ideal if you’re tackling a particularly difficult case, need in-depth reporting for family or legal reasons, or simply want to preserve your family history in a professional format.
