There’s no need to have it all figured out before we meet. Whether you have a full family tree or just a few names, we can work with whatever you bring. A rough outline of your family (starting with yourself and working backward through your parents and grandparents) is a great place to begin.

If possible, jot down key details like birthplaces, marriage dates, or immigration years—it all helps us connect the dots faster during your session.

Absolutely. Many people start with only a few fragments—maybe a name or a story passed down through generations. Our genealogists are trained to work with all levels of information and can guide you on the best way to move forward, even with limited details.

The best place to begin is with yourself and work backwards, one generation at a time. It’s tempting to jump straight into Irish records, but it's easy to trace the wrong family if you skip the foundational steps. We’ll help you verify each step as you go so you stay on track.

Yes. Whether your family emigrated in the 1800s or the 1900s, we have access to historical records that can help trace the journey back. The key is to gather what we can from your home country first—then follow the trail across to Ireland.

Our in-depth research packages typically require a minimum of one month to complete. This allows us enough time to properly explore the records and build a solid, evidence-based account of your family story.

That’s one of the most exciting parts of genealogical research! From long-lost relatives to unexpected places of origin, every discovery tells part of the story. We’ll help you interpret and understand anything that comes up—surprising or not.
