Genetic Genealogist
Helping you discover yourself through past connections.
About Me
My passion for family history began at the Christmas dinner table, listening to stories of my grandfather’s discoveries as he built our family tree.
What started as childhood curiosity soon grew into a lifelong pursuit, deepening when I moved to Cairns and joined a DNA group that inspired me to dive into the world of genetic genealogy.
Since then, I’ve combined personal experience, professional training, and a genuine love of connecting people with their roots to help others uncover their family stories, solve mysteries, and bring missing branches of their trees to life.

What Clients Say …
I could never have imagined how quickly Melanie was able to get results and how accurate those results were.
Within a few days, she had a phone number of a family member and told me with certainty that this was a connection that would begin to answer the mystery of my life. She was right, that phone call led to several other conversations with family that didn’t even know I existed.
I discovered the story behind my biological father’s life and have talked directly with two of my four half-siblings. I am so grateful for Melanie’s help because without her, I would never have been able to connect all the dots and follow the bloodline.
If you are looking to answer the mystery of your family, Melanie will make it happen, and at mind-blowing speed and accuracy.
