DNA Uncovered

This is a brilliant resource for those researching their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family history!

Family history Access information, guides and resources to help you research your Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family history.

Do you have an ancestor who has left you with more questions than answers?
Are there holes in their life story that you've struggled to fill?
I would love to assist you in discovering more about your family; whether that be an individual or across your family tree as a whole.

This photo is of my great grandfather; a man for whom I feel I will always have more questions!

Amazing new service offered in WA!
What perfect timing 🥳

FAMILY HISTORY & DIGITISATION SERVICE
This week the Museum of Perth will launch our Family History Service, offering digitisation as well as genealogical research and biographical writing headquartered at our Perth Office with branches in Fremantle and Bunbury.

Preserve your family’s precious photos, records and memories by engaging our experienced team to digitise your Collection today.

Digitising preserves the originals and protects against repeated future handling. Copies can then be sent anywhere instantly - making it easier to connect with and share your family history with relatives and friends around the world.

All of your records are handled by staff trained in the archival care of these items, and scanned to the highest standards in both resolution and saved file format. Each piece is processed and handled individually and with the greatest care.

We conduct an assessment of your Collection before beginning digitisation, in order to provide you with the best solution to suit your budget. We will also provide you with guidance regarding available storage options, depending on your future needs.

We can also load your photos onto a Digital Photo Frame for display in your home or office.

Learn more and contact our team today at: www.museumofperth.com.au/family-history-services

Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! 🖤💛❤️

NAIDOC Week 2022 runs from Sunday July 3 to Sunday July 10 and is an incredible opportunity to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

I feel privileged to have helped several people discover previously unknown Aboriginality and assist them in linking to relevant services to learn more.
So many people lost the knowledge of their family tree because of the Stolen Generation, it's time to make sure everyone gets this back!

Do you have family photos tucked safely away but aren't sure what to do with them?
Including them as part of your family tree allows them to be shared with future generations in an easy & clear way.
Whilst the physical photos may deteriorate over time, taking good quality digital copies ensures that the pictures of your ancestors retain their names well into the future 💫

Contact us for some suggestions on how best to organise this, or for a quote if you'd like for us to do this for you!

Whether you have been researching your family tree for many years or are starting from scratch, I would love to help you meet your goals!

I can assist you by:
- Researching & compiling your family tree (whether through records and/or Ancestry DNA matches)
- Assist in applying for specific records relevant to your ancestors life experiences
- Facilitating your Ancestry DNA test
- Liaising with extended family matches
- Creating a physical family tree
- Tracking down living descendants... and so much more!

Each situation is different so I'm happy to chat with you about what you need and we can go from there 😊

Welcome to DNA Uncovered 💫

After over a decade of intensive family history research, including utilising Ancestry DNA kits, I've been lucky enough to solve some pretty incredible family mysteries!
I've located and connected with countless extended and unknown family members (for both myself and others) and feel that it's time to formally extend my services to the public.

I am able to assist you with building a comprehensive family tree, completing & interpreting Ancestry DNA results, communicating with matches on your behalf, locating lost relatives and more!
I have experience in locating unknown persons through Ancestry DNA and am happy to chat about whatever situation you're currently facing in your own family history research.

Feel free to send me a message with your request and I'll let you know what the next steps would be 😊
