I want to learn about my ancestors
Have you ever pondered the unlikely chain of events that ultimately led to you to being on the planet?
Has your immediate family become disconnected from their past? Do you have a family history rich in stories and images, that need to be documented for your children, grandchildren, and future generations that may someday have that curiosity?
You took a DNA test and are wondering, what do I do now?
Answering these questions is at the core of what we do. We would like nothing more than to help you find the answers and more.
Can this be restored?
Photographs can fade over time, get torn, or damaged from liquids & fingerprints. Even if they are in good shape, how do you add them to your family tree to bring it to life?
We can take your original photographs or documents and digitize them. Then use modern technology to fix most imperfections, and restore them to help erase the damage done over time.
What does this mean?
Inevitably during the research process you come across documents in a language you're not familiar with, handwriting you can't read, or both. Even if you can decipher the text, there may be terms or phrases you are unfamiliar with. The excitement of uncovering an important record, quickly turns to frustration when you can't figure out what information it's meant to provide you.
Let us help you unlock those secrets.
Here at Roots Unwound we strive to be the one-stop for all for your Family History, and Genealogical needs.
Whether your starting from scratch, with little to go on other than your name and birthday; or have lots of relatives and need to put everything in order, you've come to the right place!
- Maybe you have a hand-drawn family tree and you want to get it online so you can preserve it for future generations.
- Perhaps you started building a family tree online, but need help breaking through some brick walls in your research, or finding a way around a roadblock?
- Do you have an old photo album from your grandparents, or a shoe-box full of faded memories. We can help put names to some of the faces. Help you figure out who's a distant aunt or uncle, versus an old family friend who happened to be in a group photo.
- Old photographs that are damaged or faded? We can help by digitizing them and restore them so they can be a valuable addition to your family tree, or just to have copies and share them your phone or tablet with friends and relatives.
- Have you taken a DNA test and are trying to figure out what the results mean and where you go from here? Your DNA test resulted in a lot of matches, but you need help corresponding to them, or sifting through the "Distant Cousin" and concentrating on closer matches. You took a test and the results are something you weren't expecting.
- You have some old family history related documents or records but they are in another language you can't read, or don't understand what some of the terms mean.
We can help with all of these things, and we look forward to helping you on your adventure!
