FAQs
Who is this course designed for?
This course is specifically designed for adoptees, donor-conceived individuals, people with misattributed parentage, and anyone with unknown biological origins who has already taken at least one DNA test. It's ideal for those who feel overwhelmed by their match list and need a systematic approach to finding biological family.
It's also great for those who want to become Search Angels, offering their services to those with unknown parentage.
It's also great for those who want to become Search Angels, offering their services to those with unknown parentage.
Who is this course NOT right for?
This course isn't suitable for those seeking to build a traditional family tree starting with known parents, professional genetic genealogists who already have advanced techniques, or individuals unwilling to dedicate time to the research process. Also, if you're expecting instant answers without any investigative work, this approach may not meet your expectations.
What if my family has endogamy?
No, this course is not designed to address the unique challenges of endogamous populations.
Is this course right for me if I haven't taken a DNA test yet?
While you can learn the methodology in advance, you'll need DNA test results to implement the techniques. We tell what test to get and guide you through exactly how to leverage your results once you have them.
Will this work if I'm searching for a grandparent rather than a parent?
Yes, the methodology works for identifying any biological relative. While the course focuses primarily on parent searches, the same techniques apply to grandparent searches.
I have matches but they don't have family trees. Will this still work?
Absolutely! One of the core strengths of our methodology is teaching you how to research matches without existing trees.
How does this compare to hiring a professional search angel or genetic genealogist?
Professional genetic genealogists charge thousands, while this course provides lifetime skills for a fraction of the cost. Free search angels vary widely in experience and create privacy concerns when sharing sensitive biological information.
I'm a complete beginner with genealogy. Is this too advanced for me?
The course is specifically designed to be accessible to beginners. We explain every concept from the ground up, define all terminology, and provide foundational knowledge before building to more advanced techniques.
How technical is this course?
The course is designed for people with basic computer skills—if you can use email, search the internet, and navigate websites, you have all the technical skills needed.
How long will it take to find my biological parent(s)?
Every case is unique, with variables including how many close matches you have, the completeness of their family trees, and how much time you can dedicate to research. Some students make breakthroughs within hours, while more complex cases may take several months.
Can I access the course materials all at once, or is it drip-fed over time?
You receive immediate access to all course modules upon enrollment. This allows you to progress at your own pace—whether that means completing it over a weekend or spreading it out over several months as your schedule permits.
Does the course provide guidance on contacting newly discovered biological relatives?
Yes, the course covers how to craft respectful messages that maximize positive responses while preparing you for various potential reactions.
How do I handle the emotional aspects of this search process?
While we focus on methodology, we address the emotional journey throughout the course. We recommend establishing personal support systems before beginning and provide resources for connecting with relevant support groups. Remember that pacing yourself and taking breaks when needed is both normal and necessary.
Will I need to pay for additional tools beyond the course?
The core methodology works with free tools and the DNA tests you've already taken. While additional paid tools are recommended, they're not required for success. We've partnered with several premium services to offer exclusive student discounts.
Will I receive support if I get stuck during my search?
The course includes detailed troubleshooting guidance for common roadblocks in each module. While this is a self-paced course without 1-on-1 coaching, the comprehensive lessons address the vast majority of challenges you're likely to encounter.
What's your refund policy?
We offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If you decide the course isn't right for you within 30 days of purchase, simply let us know for a complete refund—no questions asked.
