Getting your DNA results back is exciting—but it can also be intimidating.

So many matches! Who are all these people? Can they really be your relatives?

I’ve been in that situation myself, and I know how it feels. Over the years, I’ve developed practical, proven ways to make sense of DNA results and turn confusion into clarity.

No matter which test you took—Ancestry, MyHeritage, or another service—I can help. I build well-documented family trees using verified records, so your DNA matches have real context. With several generations in place, it becomes far easier to see how those matches connect to your family and to be confident that the relationships are correct.

Much of my work focuses on Irish families, where records can be sparse and genetic evidence often plays a crucial role. By combining traditional research with DNA, I help uncover connections that would be difficult—or impossible—to see using either approach alone.

You don’t have to tackle this alone. I can help you move from “Who are all these people?” to understanding how they fit into your story.

Below you’ll find the different ways I can work with you—whether you’d like me to do the research for you, guide you step-by-step, or present these methods to your group.
