Win a Rooted Genealogy Research Package

What the Top Prize Includes

The First Prize winner will receive their choice of a DNA or Family Tree Research Package valued at $299 CAD. This package is designed to provide focused, personalized genealogical research—whether you're just starting your family tree or digging deeper into one specific line or mystery.

You can choose between two options:

Family Tree Research Package (Non-DNA)

Perfect for those starting from scratch or wanting to explore a specific branch of their family. I’ll build out your tree using historical records, helping you discover names, dates, and stories from your family’s past.

DNA Research Package

Ideal for those who have already taken a DNA test and want help interpreting the results. This option can enhance traditional research by analyzing your DNA matches or focus on solving a specific mystery—such as confirming a grandparent’s identity or identifying a surprise match.

Every Package Includes:

  • Up to 4 hours of professional research

  • Family tree building and identification of potential ancestors

  • A timeline or short written report summarizing discoveries

  • Optional Zoom or phone call to review findings together

  • Supportive, judgment-free guidance throughout the process

Note: Prize winners may choose to add additional research services beyond the prize package at their own expense.
