Currently accepting clients for...

• DNA
• Family History Research

Hello there!  Before we get underway, I want to thank you so much for taking a moment to review my information and credentials. You have a lot of great experts at your disposal here and I am excited at the prospect of being the one who can help you on your family history journey!

My name is Lori Donovan Roberts (no need for formalities though, Lori will do just fine) and I have been working as a genealogist for more than fifteen years.  Like many in this field, I got my start researching my own family history and caught the bug.  I quickly took advantage of every educational opportunity that presented itself, and in 2020, during the pandemic I dove straight in and got my Certificate from the University College Cork, Ireland.  

While a substantial amount of my experience is based in America and the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales), I have also had great success for clients in Canada, Germany, Italy and Slovakia.  From basic family history to identifying birth parents for adoptees, my research has helped individuals from all walks of life learn more about the branches of their family that helped shaped them, sometimes more than they realized. 

I encourage my clients to utilize DNA testing, and will cast a wider net for them for no additional fee, to all of the major DNA providers.  Privacy is always respected and no personal information is ever shared in the process. DNA testing and reserach can be a very effective and safe way to delve deeper into your roots.

As a skilled graphic designer, I also offer my clients the opportunity to buy print/frameable family trees, family history books, and more.

Testimonials
I hired Lori to get to know more about my paternal ancestry, as there were some gray areas that my mother was unable to share. Within days she had identified my actual birth father (not the man I was lead to believe was my father) and provided a paternal lineage going back 5 generations. I now have a second family, sisters, and got to know my birth father before he passed away earlier this year. Phenomenal experience. - S.R., Emmaus, PA

I would like to thank you so much for all your help in verifying I have a sister though my father. You have brightened our day and future. I am so excited to know I have a sister.. We will be meeting in person soon. One again Thank you for your help It has been a great experience. - Lori Carr, Seminole, FL

When my wife and I got engaged we thought it would be fun to explore the histories of the family's we were soon to be combining. We are so glad we worked with Lori on this because we ended up finding out way more than we ever thought we would. Lori helped us understand the DNA process to get the most out of our results. Then she went digging and discovered parts of both our family histories that we never even knew about. As someone who doesn't have a lot of immediate family, it was amazing to watch my family tree grow and uncover stories, documents, and even photos I had never seen before. Not only was Lori private and responsive throughout the process, she also laid out our genealogy in a way that was easy to follow and understand. My wife and I highly recommend Lori and encourage anyone that wants to know more about their family history to work with her. - Jack G., New York, NY
