Our Method

From Tangled Hints to a Clear Family Story

Online family trees easily get confused by common names, missing maiden names, or hurried transcriptions. We put every puzzle piece back in its rightful place.

Common Tree Snags

What Happens in Most Online Trees

✕ Duplicate Spouse Cards: Multiple marriages often fragment one person into two or three separate profiles.
✕ Confusing Sibling Splits: When an early baptism didn't list the mother, full siblings get mistakenly separated into half-siblings.
✕ Vague Passenger Lists: Clerks often used "ditto" marks down whole pages, causing everyone to look like they came from the same village.
✕ Overwhelming DNA Matches: Hundreds of 3rd and 4th cousins with no obvious connection or shared surnames.

The Rockett Solution

Clear, Verified Family Lineage

✓ Clean Kinship Structures: Chronologically ordered marriages, unified sibling cohorts, and zero duplicate cards.
✓ High-Resolution Scans: We inspect original church and civil images, transcribing Latin names, sponsors, and witnesses.
✓ Candidates Carefully Checked: We document exactly who was checked and ruled out, so you never search the same dead end twice.
✓ Smart DNA Sorting: We filter out distant background noise to pinpoint the few real cousins who hold the key to your branch.

About Your Researcher

Dave Rockett

Lead Genealogist & Family Historian • Based in Ireland

"I founded Rockett Genealogy out of a personal passion for rigorous, honest family history. Having spent years untangling 18th- and 19th-century Irish lineages across parish microfilms, civil registers, and emigrant routes between Ireland, Great Britain, the United States, and Canada, I know how frustrating it is to hit a brick wall or get misled by automated leaf hints."

"Being based in Ireland means direct familiarity with the National Library of Ireland (NLI), General Register Office (GRO), National Archives, and diocesan collections. I don't use AI shortcuts or guesswork. Every tree I investigate is handled with the exact same dedication, precision, and respect as my own family's history."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an active Ancestry paid subscription for you to do the research?

Not at all! We hold full All-Access World Deluxe subscriptions. When you invite us as a read-only Viewer, we can pull and view all the historical documents, parish registers, and census scans for your tree without you needing to pay for an expensive monthly plan.

What if my family's records were damaged or lost in Ireland?

While the 1922 Dublin fire destroyed many early records, a huge amount survived! Catholic parish registers, Griffith's Valuation, Tithe Applotment books, civil registrations, and estate records remain intact. Even where early church records are missing, we use land maps, neighboring parishes, and collateral family lines to track down your family's story.

What if DNA testing reveals something unexpected?

Family stories can hold surprises. We handle every single inquiry with kindness, discretion, and respect. You can tell us upfront whether you want direct full details, a private phone chat first, or to keep the focus strictly on historical paper records.

Who actually conducts the research?

All research is led directly by Dave Rockett, an Ireland-based genealogist and family historian. Unlike automated matching sites or AI bots that generate unverified guesswork, we manually examine original microfilms, verify Latin baptismal entries, and analyze collateral relatives using the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS).

How do I know this isn't a scam or fly-by-night site?

We operate transparently as an Ireland-registered Sole Trader under Irish consumer protection law and Revenue tax compliance. All payments are processed through Stripe with 256-bit encryption (we never see or store your payment details). We never ask for your account passwords, we offer a free initial feasibility check so you never pay upfront without knowing your odds, and we guarantee a 100% full refund if eligible Irish citizenship records cannot be found.

Can I speak to someone or check if my records exist before paying?

Absolutely. You can email Dave directly at dave@rockettgenealogy.com with your ancestor's details. We will check the surviving parish microfilms and civil indices for free within 24 hours to let you know what can realistically be found before you make any commitment.

How does the 100% money-back guarantee work for Irish Citizenship?

If you order our Irish Citizenship Pathway package for an eligible grandparent born in Ireland, and we cannot locate their official state civil registration or primary parish record, we gladly issue an immediate, 100% full refund.
