We review and interpret results from all types of direct-to-consumer genealogy DNA tests, and ancestor artefact tests, in the context of your research goals.
DNA Results Reviews are customised to suit you. You share your DNA results and explain your research questions/goals (i.e. what you want to learn from your results). We review your results in that context and provide an assessment and recommendations either as a written report or a video recorded briefing, depending on your preferences and the case specifics.
Your DNA results could include autosomal DNA results (e.g. AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage, Living DNA, GEDmatch), Y-DNA results (STR and/or Big Y), mitochondrial DNA, and/or X-DNA data.
We can also review DNA results extracted from testing artefacts belonging to deceased ancestors (eg. at totheletter DNA).

We can undertake research projects on your behalf. We review your research goal, background information, DNA results, and then provide a research proposal/quote.
Some genetic genealogy projects involve more than our other services are suited for. Everyone’s circumstances are different, and everyone’s DNA and results are unique. You may have no genealogy experience, may not be tech-savvy, or just want it all done for you. A customised review and project proposal/quote is required.
You may have a long-time family mystery that might finally be resolved using DNA, a challenging unknown parent/ancestor case, or require detailed review and analysis of specific results for a particular purpose.
To arrange a research proposal/quote for your project, either send a message from our Contact page or click the book-a-chat link further down this page to schedule a phone call.
As an experienced IGG Practitioner, I assist Australian law enforcement agencies to identify unknown DNA profiles using Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy.
My IGG/FIGG experience and successes are outlined on the About page.
IGG/FIGG can be used to identify unidentified human remains, the owners of DNA profiles found at crime scenes, military remains, remains from mass burials, natural and man-made disasters, and more.
To enquire about IGG/FIGG services, contact me by sending a message from the Contact page or clicking the book-a-chat link further down this page to schedule a phone call.
Free guidance for families of long-term missing persons to take appropriate steps that may assist in the identification of their loved ones.
Families of long-term missing persons should ensure that their missing family member has been officially reported as missing, and that they have provided family reference DNA samples to police to expedite identification if the remains of their loved one are ever found.
In addition, it is recommended that at least one close relative should have their DNA in the major genealogy DNA databases, and uploaded to GEDmatch and FamilyTreeDNA (opted in to IGG matching), and have a public family tree online, in case remains of their loved one are ever found and tested for use with IGG/FIGG.
If assistance is required, contact me by sending a message from the Contact page or clicking the book-a-chat link further down this page to schedule a phone call.
