Pricing
A $30 non-refundable deposit is required to begin the research, with the remaining balance due upon completion. Please note: If the research requires credits or tokens for sites such as Scotlands People, these will also be charged separately.
All birth, death, and marriage certificates or transcriptions are charged in addition to the research fees. These must be paid for at the time of ordering.
🌿Family Tree Starter Pack – $300
Perfect for beginners or as a heartfelt gift. (This is for those who know their parentage.)
I’ll trace your direct ancestry back four generations — that’s parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great grandparents — focusing on your pedigree line.
You’ll receive: A private online family tree on Ancestry, all documents, photos, and clippings gathered during research, a beautiful full-colour report with charts, family stories, maps, and images.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a keepsake to share, this pack brings your family’s story to life.
🧬 Birth Parent Search – from $400
This is a deeply personal journey — and I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way.
Using a combination of DNA analysis and family tree research, I work methodically to help identify unknown birth parents.
Your package includes:
A Leeds Chart to group DNA matches
One or more targeted Ancestry trees (built quickly to test theories)
WATO trees (What Are The Odds?) to assess possibilities
Chromosome mapping for deeper DNA triangulation
Ongoing updates in plain English and technical detail
A final summary of findings with supporting evidence
Please note: Every case is different — some are solved in weeks, others take much longer.
The starting price covers 20 hours of focused research, with additional hours available if needed.
I only order certificates or documents that are essential to the research, and I’ll always check with you before making any purchases. You’re in control of what gets ordered and when.
