Unlock the Stories in Your DNA with The Family Finders


At The Family Finders, we specialize in unravelling the mysteries of your ancestry through the powerful combination of genetic genealogy and traditional family history research.


Whether you're searching for unknown biological relatives, confirming family legends, or simply building a comprehensive family tree, our expert team where applicable also uses cutting-edge DNA analysis alongside historical records to deliver clear, accurate answers. For clients who have already done their DNA test, The Family Finders apply Investigative Genetic Genealogy to our methodology in research and are able to categorically 'prove' or 'disprove' a line in a family tree. DNA provides an authentic proof of life in our research and clients obtain a proven peace of mind knowing that their own genealogical journey is documented but that their ancestral lines can be proven once and for all. DNA provides this peace of mind when we want or need it in genealogy. 

The Family Finders services go far beyond just names and dates. With years of experience in record research, archive access, and investigative genealogy, we dig deep into birth, marriage, death, immigration, military, census, land, tax, social security, and even historical banking records adding to those are newspaper and gazetted articles, court rulings and many other sources—uncovering the real stories behind your lineage.


For adoptees or those with brick walls in their family tree, our research methods and proven track record provide clarity and adding DNA research to that for many offer a broad and certain personal and or ancestral story line.


                                We’re more than just genealogists—we're advocates for truth and discovery. 


Our Record Agent services makes us a direct link to archives and repositories across regions, helping you retrieve hard-to-find documents without the guesswork or frustrations. Whether it’s a court file, parish register, or land record, we know where to look and how to get it. All of our researchers are formally qualified in varying genealogical and research fields including but not limited to Genetic Genealogy, Investigative Research, Family Historians, Genealogists, Heraldry, Record Agents, Librarians and much more. 


There is no limit on who or what we can research and much of this is done world wide. We are 'global' researchers and as such have access to many records across the globe that results in far reaching results. Whilst there are a few countries that limit outside or external access we always advise our clients before we undertake any actual work as it can take longer or be more costly to do so in some countries. Thus offering peace of mind both from a research and financial standing. 


The Family Finders cover all area's and forms of research and we offer unique specialised Investigative Genetic Genealogy and generalised genealogical services in the following : Australian Colonial Convict Ancestry and Heritage Research, Irish/Scottish/Welsh and related Isles including the UK and connected Isles. American and Revolutionary War, Colonial American and Mayflower Ancestry. German and Jewish Ancestry. 


Whilst many countries disallow external access to some records, we have a staff of record agents and general genealogists who assist us in our research globally and provide an invaluable source of information when required from within any country.

We can provide everything for our clients worldwide, from creating a basic family tree of one or many generations and setting you up on one or more of the known DNA websites providing you with a basis for you to continue on and for some we assist you in general genealogy education..eg how to do basic research for your tree. Or for those requiring more in depth services we offer more in depth personalised research services and can offer flexibility in those pathways to attain your genealogical answers on a deeper or more involved level. 


Genealogy and DNA research can be exciting but also overwhelming for those who come against 'brick walls' or who find it hard to understand how to perform more in depth research and sadly often give up never finding their ancestral story or truths. There is a plethora of information available but knowing where to find it is the key. This is where we are able to expedite things in many instances and whilst we cannot guarantee the outcome of any research or even if we will find what youre looking for, we have the skills and pathway already laid out and with our high levels of skill and experience, it rarely falls short of any answers. And occasionally you get less or much more than you were hoping for but thats all part of the journey regardless of whether you undertake it alone or have us by your side every step of the way. Often clients come to us when they can go no further and are surprised at our results but thats not because we are special people per say .. its simply because we are excellent at what we do and The Family Finders sole focus is on obtaining the answers you so dearly want and deserve. 

We are transparent in all that we do including our services and fees (please see our Services page for further info)
