Every family
has a story.
Let's find yours.

Solving Your Mysteries is a research-based genealogy service that helps uncover answers about your family history using a combination of genealogical records, historical research, and, where applicable, DNA insights.

This can include identifying unknown biological relatives, building out family trees, investigating long-standing family stories, or clarifying inconsistencies in records. If you’re unsure whether your situation fits, you can always reach out.

Not necessarily. Many cases can be solved using traditional records like census data, birth and death certificates, amongst other documents. However, DNA can be incredibly helpful in cases involving unknown parentage or limited documentation.

DNA is a powerful tool, but it’s not a complete answer on its own. It can strongly indicate biological relationships, but interpretation requires careful analysis and supporting evidence.

It depends on the complexity of your case. Some answers can be found in a few days, while others may take months of research. Cases involving DNA often take longer due to processing times and the need to analyze matches thoroughly.

No, I cannot guarantee a definitive answer in every case. Some records may not exist, and DNA evidence can have limitations. What I can guarantee is a thorough and honest investigation with clear communication about what is and isn’t possible.

Confidentiality is a top priority. Your information, research findings, and any DNA data are handled with care and never shared without your explicit consent. Sensitive discoveries are communicated thoughtfully and privately.

Unexpected results are not uncommon in this kind of work. If something significant comes up, I’ll present the information carefully, explain what it means, and give you space to decide how you’d like to move forward.

As much information as you already know; this could be parents, grandparents, or, if known, great-grandparents names, dates, and locations. Even the smallest detail could prove vital.

Yes, these are some of the most common and meaningful cases I work on. They often involve a mix of DNA analysis and traditional research to identify and confirm biological connections.

You can get in touch through the contact form below with a brief overview of your situation. From there, I’ll let you know what’s possible, what the process would look like, and any next steps.
