DNA Consultation
Genetic Match Analysis & Lineage Insight | One Hour (Virtual)
with Alex Genealogy
DNA testing has transformed genealogical research—but DNA results alone rarely provide clear answers. Many individuals receive thousands of matches without knowing how to interpret them, which connections matter, or how genetic evidence fits into their documented family tree.
The DNA Consultation is a one-hour virtual session designed to help you understand, organize, and use your DNA results as a genealogical research tool.
What Is a DNA Consultation?
A DNA Consultation is a professional review and guidance session focused on interpreting your genetic matches in the context of family history research.
Rather than delivering raw data or speculative conclusions, this service helps you make sense of what your DNA results can—and cannot—tell you about your ancestry.
This consultation is designed to support accuracy, efficiency, and informed decision-making.
What the DNA Consultation Includes
One-Hour Virtual Session
During this consultation, Alex Genealogy provides structured guidance to help you navigate your DNA results with clarity and purpose.
This consultation includes
Review of your DNA match landscape
Guidance on identifying relevant versus incidental matches
Assistance organizing matches for genealogical use
Insight into how DNA supports or challenges existing research
Recommendations for next research steps based on your results
The consultation is educational, strategic, and focused on genealogical application rather than speculation.
Who This Service Is For
The DNA Consultation is ideal for individuals who:
Have completed a consumer DNA test
Feel overwhelmed by the number of genetic matches
Are unsure how DNA fits into their family tree research
Want professional guidance before pursuing deeper genetic genealogy
Need clarity before investing in extended research services
This service is especially helpful for individuals navigating complex family histories or unexpected results.
