A Genealogist can help you uncover valuable information about your family history that may not be easily accessible through online research. Our experience can help you connect with long-lost relatives and discover your family's unique story.

At Ancestry Sisters, we have over 12 years of experience and we pride ourselves on our personalized approach to Genealogy Research & DNA reviews for finding family. We work closely with each client to understand their unique needs and goals, and we tailor our research to meet those needs. Our ultimate goal is to help our clients uncover their family's unique story. 

Getting started with Ancestry Sisters is easy. Simply contact us to set up a free consultation. We'll discuss your goals and needs for the project, and develop a customized plan for your research. From there, we'll get to work uncovering your family's history.

We know it can be frustrating when going through the sometimes-difficult process to retrieve information about your family and where they came from. At times, we don’t have control over how long it will take to access an official document or piece of information to move on to the next step.  For example, government repositories in certain states (such as New York) can take over a year to receive vital records. But we’ve navigated many unique cases worldwide and this gives us the knowledge to be proactive and informative.

Your journey to uncover your biological family is at the heart of what we do. We understand the sensitivity of this search and handle everything with utmost confidentiality and your explicit consent. When you give us the go-ahead to access your DNA results, we'll start by understanding your family story through a series of questions. Then, with your permission, we'll dive into all your DNA matches across major sites like Ancestry.com, 23andMe, Family Tree DNA, My Heritage and Gedmatch. Based on our comprehensive review, we'll prepare a detailed report summarizing our findings.

We can provide a time estimate once we understand your goals for this project.   After we begin, we will be in touch with you throughout the process and provide you with updates on our findings and potential timeframes as necessary.   

After we have finished the research and compiled all of our findings, we will deliver a recap to you.  If we are sharing large documents, we use a Dropbox link that’s easily accessible. And if we’ve built a family tree for you on a specific website, we will invite you to access it at your convenience.
