Make an enquiry

Send the question first. Sensitive documents can wait until the safest transfer method is agreed.

This form is for initial genealogy, DNA, and family history enquiries. Please provide enough context for a first assessment, but do not include raw DNA files, identity documents, certificates, or highly sensitive family material at this stage.

What to include

  • the exact question you want answered
  • names, dates, and places already known
  • countries or regions involved
  • whether you already have certificates, family trees, reports, or DNA results
  • whether living people, adoption, parentage, whakapapa, or privacy issues may be involved

Privacy note

Please provide only what is necessary for a first assessment. Genealogy enquiries can involve information about living or recently deceased people. If your matter is suitable, I will advise how to provide documents or research material safely.

Contact David A. Jack

Do not paste raw DNA data, full certificates, identity documents, or sensitive information about living people into this form.

What happens after you send an enquiry

I will first assess the broad question and the likely evidence environment. The next step may be a brief free intake review, a paid scoping assessment, or a defined first research block.

Substantive record checking, DNA analysis, tree reconstruction, archive review, and detailed evidence testing are paid professional work and will not begin without agreement on scope and fee basis.
