Find Family new zealand

Are you looking for family?

It's a natural drive to understand what makes you, you.
What is your whakapapa and where does your wh​ānau/family come from?
For some people these answers are obvious, for others not so much.

I have decided to dedicate myself to helping those who are in search for missing relatives or those who simply seek to advance their family tree and bring it to a higher level.

The main tools I use for this purpose are various geneology websites and public records.
Best results are gathered when multiple people in the search have completed DNA tests.

Setting expecations

Even though public family heritage websites and DNA matching tools provide a wealth of information it is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. A lot of the time the challenge is to succesfully connect the dots and it may be a time intensive process that can take months or years to complete.

It is therefore very important to realise what I can realistically assist with in terms of family history;

What can be done?

  • Populating a family tree based on existing records
  • Matching DNA records with known matches
  • Approximate biological heritage based on DNA

What can't be done?

  • Finding people based on photographs
  • Finding people based on hear-say or stories

I have been researching family history and DNA matches since 2012 as a side interest and have increasingly strengthened my strategies and capabilities and brought them to a professsional level.
