Haere mai (Welcome)
Kia ora, are you finding your whakapapa or family history research challenging, feeling like you're striking a pohutukawa (brick wall) and unable to track an elusive ancestor? They might have set sail, venturing to Aotearoa (New Zealand) to carve out a fresh existence. Herein lies the realm where I may be able to offer assistance.
Ko ahau ko David Jack, known to many as Jacko. Armed with a Master of Science qualification in genealogy and rooted in the heart of the South Island of Aotearoa, I have honed my expertise in unravelling complex family histories. My work has stretched across numerous horizons, boasting successful DNA research case studies from not only Aotearoa, but also Australia, the United States, and Great Britain.
My driving passion lies nestled in the intricate research of Māori whakapapa, delving deep into the lineage and ancestry of our people. Alongside this, I hold a keen interest in Scottish Clan oral history, a fascination that interweaves itself into my daily work. Together, let us navigate the winding paths of your family history, illuminating forgotten connections and discovering new links along the way.
