Real Stories from Families I’ve Helped
These are just a few of the families I’ve had the privilege to help reconnect and learn more about their past.
“Chelsea helped me to find my birth mother from very little information. When I met my birth mother, Shirley, I was able to hand her a complete family tree which Chelsea had prepared, along with pictures and documents she had found about the family. It made her day, and helped to bring the rest of the family together. Thank you so much Chelsea.”
“We have searched for years to find where my Grandad’s mum was from. All we knew was that she arrived in one place and that was it, with no connections anywhere. But thanks to Chelsea, we not only know where she is from, but found family we never knew existed. We are so grateful for everything she has done for us.”

Sometimes it just needs the right person to uncover it. If you’re ready to explore your family history, I’m here to help you take that first step.
