Our Services
When conducting our research, we have found that it’s the details, the minutiae that can often be critical. We will start by asking you about the basics: names, dates, and places.
If you have not yet taken DNA tests, we will have you do so, and may also recommend that other close biological family members test as well. Following that, we will compile and utilize that information to help locate your biological family, using tools such as: DNA matches, documents, newspaper articles, legal documents, oral and written sources, and various Internet resources.
