About this Gig

Custom orders
I accommodate different ancestors and custom packages. I also offer record lookup services for US and UK archives. Please get in touch with me for requests outside of the packages.
Additional Information
When online sources are unavailable, I provide guidance for further research, where possible.
My research isn't limited to Ancestry. I subscribe to FindMyPast, British Newspaper Archive, MyHeritage, Newspapers.com, Fold3, TheGenealogist, and GenealogyBank. Sources from these databases and FamilySearch are included in your report where relevant.
FAQ
Do your packages include a written report?
All packages include a summary of findings and a source list with citations. For a comprehensive narrative report with historical context, select the "Full Narrative" option for an additional charge.
Which locations do you focus on?
I specialize in US research, though I live in the United Kingdom and have knowledge of UK research or records searches, including Scotland. I am based London and have research resources that I can access here. Please get in touch if you require any UK documents or travel if this is required.
Who can you research?
I will start research with any non-living ancestor or individual. Due to privacy regulations in some states and countries, current information on living people is difficult to obtain and not often readily available in the tools that I use.
Can you work with DNA results?
Yes, I can. If you have Ancestry DNA and are working with me already on a project, then I am happy to consider these results. If you need help with your results or need help figuring out where to start, contact me to see how I can help you.
What do you mean when you say you can work in my Ancestry tree?
If you have an Ancestry account, you can collaborate directly with me, and I can add sources straight to your tree. Depending on your access level to Ancestry you may not be able to view the source record images, so I will also include these source images you require with your final report.
Do you only use Ancestry?
No, if necessary, I can and will use other sources to verify or enhance my information. I primarily work in Ancestry, but I'm open to collaborating with other tools if this makes it easier for you to manage your tree. I also have full access to MyHeritage or FindMyPast for collaboration.
Can you order source materials that are not available online?
I can do this for you, and you will be charged for the cost of the document, any shipping incurred, plus a service fee. Most UK records are unavailable as direct sources online but can be ordered through GRO. US source records will vary state by state. I can accept custom orders for these.
What information are you able to locate on my ancestors?
This will vary depending on the country or state where your ancestor is located or was born. Remember that some early records may have been destroyed or inaccessible. I will do my best to find as much as possible in the time, and I'm happy to give you the next steps ofresearch with tricky ancestors.
Will you look at Pre-1850 US Census records?
The answer is yes! If you've ever tried to research using pre-1850 records you know that it can be tricky. If your ancestor has several or all records available in this era I may need to request extra time, at no additional cost, to accommodate the request. Please contact me if you're unsure.
What information do you need to start with my research?
I need the name of one non-living relative you want to know more about. Plus, any additional information that will be helpful to start the search, things like known relatives, spouses, children, or parents. Any geographical information and rough dates of birth or death are also helpful.

Exceptional experience. Especially considering that I was hoping to find information about a rather tragic event in my family history, over 60 years ago. Heidi was clear about options, what might and might not be possible, and every step of the way explained different avenues of search, opportunities...

Heidi was amazing to work with, as soon as I gave her the information I knew, she got to work finding the burial site of an ancestor lost to the family a few generations ago and kept me up to date with everything as it happened including where she was searching and who she was contacting. I would highly recommend working with her
