About

I’m Tanya with over 20 years experience in genealogy and over 10 years in genetic genealogy and DNA investigations. I really enjoy what I do and I’m always excited to take on new projects. Drop me an email with any questions or to request a FREE consultation. Please see my reviews, where my clients tell you what they think.

I work with clients around the world, offering various services. My knowledge in French, Spanish & Italian languages means I can research these archives. I have a strong interest in history, particularly the social histories of England, Europe, and the United States, which adds depth and context to my research.

Developing family trees and hunting down difficult ancestors is what I have done for over 20 years. Helping people discover their biological families is at the heart of my work in genetic genealogy. It’s deeply rewarding and one of the most meaningful aspects of my work.

I love writing about history, bringing history together in a format to engage the reader. Historical research has aided my clients in pre-production for film and books, accompanied with citations so you know exactly where the information comes from.

I collaborate with property development companies to identify heirs to estates and properties, offering professional research. Also handling complex cases as an abstract genealogist.

Branches of Truth tells the story of how I first became fascinated by genealogy, the experiences and discoveries that shaped my journey, and how that fascination eventually became my profession for more than two decades.
