THE JOURNEY OF YOUR LIFETIME STARTS HERE
All families have their folklore and intrigues but all too often connections are lost in the passage of time.
MacDonald & Rees have experts who meticulously research and analyse the highlights of your family’s past – and present them in a choice of elegant and timeless publications.
Embark upon your exciting ancestral exploration and discover your global network of family connections.
FAMILY KINSBOOK
Combining the science of DNA with history and grandparental names, we interpret and present a personalised account with origins as far as 1,200 years ago to the present day.
We interpret the DNA results and present an elegant publication in either digital or softcover format:
- An introduction to the use of DNA in family history
- A visual map of the migration routes from earliest times and locations to the current concentration of your DNA
- A narrative of the make up and some history related to your DNA signature
- What this means to you and your family names
- Name and DNA signature matches to others with the same or similar signature – thus opening new connections to potential family on a global scale
- Connections and data are anonymous and secure until changed by you
- Price £700 payable in instalments.
