Adoption Research
Are you an adoptee who is looking for your biological family?
Tristan has extensive experience using DNA evidence combined with traditional genealogical research to find one’s living relatives. And if you would rather her make the initial contact with your living relatives, she can do that too. As the lead genealogist of the award-winning television show Relative Race, Tristan has helped many adoptees and relatives locate and reunite with their families.
“Tristan is simply the best researcher and genealogist we have ever worked with at Lenzworks. We produce a complex TV series where adoptees meet their biological families, and Tristan is relentless in helping to find the families of these people. She does it using traditional industry methods, and thinks up methods and strategies of her own to get it done. She does it with passion, care, conviction, and speed! Oh, and she’s responsive, prompt, and easy to communicate with. What more can you ask for?”

“I am 81 years old; I was put up for adoption by my birth mother in 1939. I searched by myself for any information pertaining to my biological family, but without success. Recently I was introduced to Tristan Tolman, AG of Legacy Family History, Inc. by a friend. Tristan requested I take a DNA test and provide her with the non-identifying information from the adoption agency in New York.
“I was absolutely amazed as to the speed Tristan operated under providing the names of both my birth mother and father and the names of other family members. I really did not know what to expect in regards to the information Tristan could provide, but she provided extensive information on both my mother’s and father’s sides. I received a book of history, photos, and records all footnoted for easy cross-referencing. The details Tristan reported could not be duplicated by just your average person without the background, education, and training of an Accredited Genealogist such as she. She was so pleasant to work with but also very professional in her approach. I highly recommend her for any future searches you may have or contemplate.”
