Leigh was amazing. She was easy to communicate with and listened to what my issue was. It was not an easy task and unfortunately could not be solved despite doing her best efforts. I would highly recommend her.

Leigh is a consummate professional - thorough and detailed information provided from a single name and very little detail provided from ancestry. com. She is clearly very experienced researcher and promptly provided a very detailed family tree for very reasonable fees ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** More...

Leigh's genuine approach to listening and understanding what I needed to explore and the research work required. She is sensitive and confidential. Exceptional skillset in research methodologies and the use diverse tools to connect Ancestry DNA results and evidence based documents. Leigh communicates regularly on progress and guided me through how to navigate and consider information and or new information. Leigh was able to map out a whole new lens of DNA mapping for me that identified key connections and locations. She is very experienced and I highly recommend her services. More...

Sue thank you so much for your review 🤩 It was an honour to work with you. So pleased you were happy with what could be achieved.
Why should our clients choose you?
Genealogy can be an expensive pass-time and something that can be very addictive and time consuming. Understandably, people are often hesitant to commit to huge financial outlays. My packages offer affordable daily and weekly options. I recommend you start with a daily package so you can see what I can achieve in one day. From there, I have some customers who engage me for a day here and there as they can afford or negotiate within their budget to extend their research
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
In this modern era of technology it is easy to work remotely with clients. I have most recently worked with clients in NSW (my speciality), Queensland, New Zealand, England and Wales.
Digital Family Tree
If you don’t already have a digital family tree on ancestry.com, I can create one for you (no subscription needed) This tree can be edited by you and shared with your family if you like. If you already have a tree, I can collaborate with you to value add to your research.
Searching for Biological Family
If you are searching for biological family I recommend that you take an Ancestry DNA test. This connects you to others who have taken the same test and share your DNA. This may lead to surprises but essentially provides leads and connects you with living relatives, maternal and paternal.
Map out your family
The digital tree I create maps out your family which can be printed and shows your pedigree ( direct descendants starting eith you, your parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so forth … as well as your descendant chart which includes siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins etc
DNA results help extend your tree as your matches will provide further insight into what you already may or may not know. Mapping put your tree also helps identify areas where detail is missing.
Tutorials
If you are already a subscriber to Ancestry.com and need help to get the best out of your subscription, I offer local 1:1 two hour tutorials, in person or over the phone. These tutorials are personalised to cater for what you would like to learn.
