About

Lauren Robilliard

Hi there and welcome to my website! My name is Lauren and I am 27 years old. I am an Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist living in Toronto, Canada.

I am an adoptee and my interest in genealogy began in 2018 just before I turned 20. I eventually met my biological family members later that year. You can read about my own search here. A few years later at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, I started learning more about genetic genealogy. This led to helping others with their DNA tests, often Canadian adoptees like myself, or others with a family mystery solvable with DNA.

This website is to document the methods and strategies used to solve the searches I have completed. No identifying information will be shared unless the person I have helped wants it to be shared. I treat each person I am helping with dignity and utmost confidentiality and all names in the searches I post are pseudonyms.

I have experience helping people who are: adopted, sperm donor conceived, foundlings, children and grandchildren of adoptees, or have experienced an NPE (non paternity event).

I’ve had the privilege of assisting individuals from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including French Canadian and Acadian, Jewish, Puerto Rican, Iranian, English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Eastern European, and Antiguan communities. While most of the cases I work on are based in Canada, I’m happy to do my best to assist anyone with DNA search no matter where in the world they’re from.

I believe everyone has the right to know their genetic history and find out about their ancestors if that is what they choose to do. This is why I help others.

My genetic genealogy searches are always free of charge: helping others solve mysteries using DNA is something I do because I care deeply about it. If you’d like to show appreciation, you’re welcome to send a small contribution via this Paypal link. Any donations I receive go toward covering research-related costs like subscriptions to Ancestry, Newspapers.com, ScotlandsPeople, GenealogieQuebec, and other sites and subscription based tools that help me dig deeper into family history.
