Why not get in touch today through our contact page and let us locate them for you?

Were You Adopted?

We always advise clients who were adopted to be prepared for the information on their adoption records, as they may not have any memories of their adoption and its surroundings. The information held on your adoption records may be distressing. Contacting your birth parents may not always yield the results you require. However, our service can provide you with the necessary information and support to navigate this process.


Please be aware that you cannot view your adoption records if you are under 16 and were adopted in Scotland or under 18 in England or Wales.

Tracing Services Locating Property Owners

Many people come to us as they are interested in purchasing a run-down or derelict property with the hope of renovating it. It’s familiar, and today, with property at a premium, we know that empty properties gather interest quickly. With this in mind, you must quickly find the owner and make your offer as soon as possible. Our tracing services will find what you need by searching property records, land registries, and other relevant sources! Whether you’re a property developer, an investor, or a homeowner, our service can help you locate the owner and expedite the buying process.

How much information do we need?


We need some information for our tracing services at Gengenie Research to succeed. We need the full name of the target person. Their date of birth is always an advantage but not necessary; an approximate age can be sufficient.
We at Gengenie Research use many resources to locate missing people, including visits to archives, repositories and online genealogical sources and databases.
Gengenie Research will research cases involving missing persons with connections to Scotland at New Register House in Scotland’s People Centre. Whether they are missing in Scotland or have Scottish connections, Gengenie Research can locate them!

Please note:
• A sudden disappearance should be reported to the police immediately if the person’s safety is compromised. Call 999 if you believe someone may be at risk or in danger.

• Our Genealogy Detective Service is only available to persons 18 years and over; if you are under 18, we may be able to help if you have a blood relation or guardian who can work with us on your behalf.

• We cannot offer our services to former partners or spouses. If you believe the missing person is vulnerable, please report your concerns to the police. Alternatively, you could ask the missing person’s direct relatives (this would need to be a blood relative over 18) to contact Gengenie Research.
