DNA Investigations

I hope everyone is having a lovely Bank
Holiday. I have been quiet as had my head down with several cases, one after the other, researching to identify biological parents.

What are centimorgans (cM), is a common question.

If you’ve taken a DNA test, you’ve probably seen matches measured in centimorgans but what does that actually mean?

A centimorgan (cM) is a unit used to measure how much DNA you share with someone. The higher the number, the more closely related you are.

It’s not a physical length of DNA, but a way of estimating how likely pieces of DNA are to be inherited together.

In simple terms: centimorgans help us work out how closely two people are related based on shared DNA.

I help people to identify their long lost genetic relatives through DNA match results analysis and results/tree research.
Remember, no question is too silly. You can contact me via Messenger on here.
Thank you 🙏

My new pricing structure is here below.

“Why Choose my services?

After all enquiry questions answered:

The next stage is a FREE, online, no obligation consultation with me, via either Messenger text, Messenger audio call, text, email, phone call, Whatsapp audio call or WhatsApp text. Whatever method is comfortable for you.

If after the consultation, you would like me to do an initial 7 hours of DNA Results Match Analysis, which includes Leeds Method grouping, if applicable, the price is £120.
This can go a bit over the 7 hrs with no extra cost and sometimes does.

After you have received feedback from the analysis, if you would like me to research your case (and I feel there is sufficient information to work with), I work in a 10 hour block of genetic genealogy research. The price is £190. This can go a few hours over with no extra cost and sometimes does.

I can also act as Intermediary in contacting a birth relative/s who I have researched using genetic genealogy/modern research tools, if you wish. This can also be after research via a non DNA route.

The price for the intermediary work is £140 (regardless of the potential number of digital contacts to be made within a reasonable timeframe of 2-3 weeks and inclusive of any research tool costs and all postage costs for up to 30 letters written to individual people, (if required).

Please note: If more individual people need letters due to, for example, a more common name, then a custom price will be agreed with you. If the intermediary work is extending further than 3 weeks, then further costs will be discussed leading up to that depending on the custom nature of the work.

I can also act as Intermediary in contacting a birth relative/s who I have researched using genetic genealogy/modern research tools, if you wish. This can also be after research via a non DNA route.

There is no obligation to use the Intermediary service. You can, if you wish, do the intermediary research and the contact work yourself, if indeed you wish to go down this route at all.
It is my experience that having a 3rd party to make that contact in a sensitive approach can be less of a shock for the person receiving the contact and can help to create a more positive response, although of course it can’t be guaranteed in every case no matter how gently it is done, sadly.

Flexible Communication options:
Reach out via the Contact page on my website (link at top of page) or connect through my business page via Messenger.

Also ongoing contact during my working on your case, via whichever contact method is the most comfortable for you. I take into account your privacy if your family members are not aware that you have someone working on your case.
I understand how emotional and complex these journeys can be.

Drawing from my personal family history, I approach each case with empathy and dedication. My mission is to help you uncover the answers you’ve been seeking so that the missing pieces of your story can finally fall into place.”
