Currently working on a foundling case. I am determined to find answers when people have spent over half a century not knowing their genetic history and deserve knowledge of where they came from.

Well that's me back from my holidays and hard into work again to get results for my clients. Certainly appreciating the cooler weather today! I love this job so much, I am always eager to get back into it.

For those of you who don't know what I do. Here are a few words from my website......................................................................................

How I Can Help You
I specialise in:

*Identifying very close genetic relatives, even though they haven’t taken a DNA test themselves, using genetic genealogy and modern research tools.

*Identifying birth parents, even if no names are known and no certificates can be found, using genetic genealogy and modern research tools.

*Finding birth siblings and other biological relatives including grandparents using DNA match analysis and genealogy, which is genetic genealogy. Also using modern research tools.

*Acting as an intermediary to contact genetic relatives, after searching for them using modern tools, if necessary. This includes finding people via non DNA research routes. I always act with care, empathy and sensitivity during any form of contact with people I have located. (Intermediary work is not an obligation. You can do the contact work yourself if you choose.)

*Helping uncover family medical history through biological relatives, without you requiring direct contact, if that is requested.

*Advising you on the best DNA test for your circumstances. In most cases for people who haven’t tested yet, the starting place is an AncestryDNA testing kit. Ancestry has the biggest database. It takes about 6-8 weeks to get your results online after sending off the saliva sample in their kit, after registering the kit online.

You can contact me via Messenger on Facebook or via my contact page on my website www.DNAinvestigations.co.uk
No question is too silly!

Are you searching for your birth mother, birth father, or birth siblings? Or perhaps you are trying to find a biological grandparent? Whether you were adopted, fostered, or have uncovered family mysteries, I am here to help. Also if you are looking for your birth child. My name is Helen Sargent and

Here is a latest testimonial I have received from a client who I am still working with.
I am very grateful for such kind words……

“I am amazed what Helen has been able to uncover by comparing my DNA with that of everyone else on Ancestry. This is still work in progress but among other things she has already resolved the key question of whether my mother (now deceased) was adopted or not (she was); identified with certainty one set of her grandparents; pinpointed three of their daughters, one of whom was my mother’s mother, and Helen hopes to determine which it was; and found some of the circumstances involved.

All this information is priceless to me.

Helen has been a delight to deal with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”

The advantage if you do have Amazon Prime is the next day delivery, which will be quicker than ordering off the AncestryDNA site which would normally take around 1 week.
