Hi, I’m Sandra, and I began researching my own family tree back in 2007!

 What started as a personal journey to uncover the cause of death on my paternal line, due to an inherited medical condition, soon grew into a lifelong passion for genealogy.

​

Over the years, I’ve traced my ancestors as far back as the 1600s and connected with relatives from around the world. Each month, I continue exploring newly added records across multiple genealogy platforms, always searching for new pieces of the puzzle that bring family stories to life.

​

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping others discover their roots. I’ve had the privilege of assisting a lady who was adopted as a baby in 1964 in the UK to trace her biological family and connect with her first cousins. I also experienced an incredible DNA discovery within my own family,  a match appeared as my first cousin, once removed, on my maternal side. After several reviews of my family tree, I asked another family member to take a DNA test to help narrow down the connection. To my surprise, it revealed that the two were actually half-siblings! Moments like these are what make genealogy so fulfilling, connecting families and uncovering the stories that shape who we are.

​

In 2019, I was invited by the Manager at Southlands Shopping Centre in Perth, Western Australia, to run a three-day workshop introducing people to family history research, guiding them through what information to gather and how to get started. The workshops were a great success and sparked a lot of community interest!

​

To deepen my knowledge, I completed the “Genealogy: Researching Your Family Tree” online course with the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. While my main focus is on UK-based research, I also conduct research internationally, as family trees often extend far beyond one country.

Every project I take on is approached with dedication, curiosity, and care. My goal is to help you uncover your unique family story, preserving it for future generations to cherish and continue.
