Why use Ulster Ancestry for Missing Heir and Estate Research?

Ulster Ancestry researchers have become experts in the field of locating missing family members in Ireland . We are readily available to you by telephone and email. You will be corresponding and working directly with the genealogist researching the case.

How to get started

Contact us and we will be glad to discuss your case needs, plan the way forward and provide a free estimate.
As an administrator or estate lawyer, you will be asked only to authorize a specific number of hours research or a budget figure. We do not ask for any financial retainer in advance.
If the search needs to continue after the first research session, you would be required to authorize additional research based on a specific number of hours. Our research blocks are typically 24 hours in duration, but can be any agreed number of hours.

What to expect

We will produce a full summarised report of the search showing family relationships, and a complete list of sources examined. The latter is particularly helpful in proving to a court that due diligence was undertaken.
We typically complete research blocks within 12 weeks. We can expedite research, if requested. Please contact us for more information or to get a search under way today.

We look forward to hearing from you and to being of service.

I told them to hold hands so as not to get lost.
We passed down the Foyle and it was as calm as a mill pond, past Culmore and out into the Lough. In front of us was only this vast grey expanse of open sea.

As we approached Moville I could see our house up on the hill. Suddenly the sun came from behind a cloud and lit it up. I could see every rock and every tree.

I thought my heart would break.”
