Why Rooted Genealogy?

With over a decade of personal and professional experience in family history research, Lauryn brings a detail-oriented, evidence-based approach to every project. She specializes in North American and British Isles ancestry, with a strong focus on Canadian records and immigration histories. Whether you're looking to untangle a mystery using DNA matches, understand historical migration patterns, or build out generations of your family tree, Lauryn brings both passion and precision to the process.

Areas of interest include:

  • Pre- and Post-Confederation Canadian settlement and immigration records

  • Labour and British empire migration schemes

  • DNA interpretation and unknown parentage cases

  • Census, land, newspaper, and church records in Canada, the US, and the UK

At Rooted Genealogy, every project is approached with care and curiosity—because your family’s story deserves more than a search engine.

 How It Works

  • During your free 30 minute consultation by phone or Zoom, Lauryn will start by discussing your research goals. Are you just starting your family tree, or is there something more specific you want to achieve? Do you need help understanding your DNA results?

    Together you’ll decide on the scope of work and and how much time is needed to start your project. Research will begin upon receipt of payment and applicable signed waivers.

  • You’ll receive an ancestral report that includes detailed information about individual ancestors, copies of relevant documents and images, and suggestions for further research. The amount of detail on your report will depend on the scope of work and the information available.

    Lauryn will also build an Ancestry tree for you with collaborator access under your own Ancestry account. All clients will receive a GEDCOM export of their tree. You can upload this file to many family research websites to continue building your tree.

  • The time needed to complete each project will vary depending on the overall goals and scope of work. Grow Your Tree and Uncover a New Branch packages require a 3 hour minimum purchase.

    3-5 hour projects: $50/hr
    6+ hour projects: $45/hr

    Payments can be made by e-transfer or PayPal. Prices are listed in CAD.
