Welcome to Kiwi Lineage Finder
Are you struggling with your family history research? Hitting a brick wall and finding it hard to trace an elusive ancestor? Perhaps they embarked on a journey to New Zealand to start a new life. If so, I may be able to help you.
I'm David Jack, often known as Jacko. I hold a MSc in Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde and a Director of the Register of Qualified Genealogists (RQG). I am based in the heart of the South Island of New Zealand. My expertise lies in unraveling complex family histories, with successful DNA research case studies not just in New Zealand, but also in Australia, the United States, and Great Britain.
My passion is deeply rooted in the detailed research of Māori whakapapa, exploring the lineage and ancestry of our people. I also have a strong interest in Scottish Clan oral history, which plays a significant role in my work. Together, we can navigate the twists and turns of your family history, uncovering forgotten connections and discovering new links along the way.
My Services Include:
Genealogical Research
I provide thorough research into your specified ancestor(s), covering details such as their birth year, parents, earlier forebears (where records are available), and their places of origin.
DNA Analysis
Genealogical Computing
I provide installation and training for genealogy software on both Windows and Mac platforms, including Legacy, and Family Tree Maker. Additionally, I offer website construction and hosting services tailored to genealogical needs.
Family History Charts
I create a variety of family history charts and reports, perfect for family reunions or as personal gifts.
Oral History
Capturing and preserving family knowledge is vital, yet often overlooked. I can help you record this invaluable oral history before it is lost. Please email me to learn more about how I can assist with this.
