About UKATS

Tracing people or information is a time consuming and meticulous task that often people can't undertake themselves due to lack of time and resources or purely geographical locations. This service has been set up to provide an inexpensive way of tracing birth relatives.  It ensures that there are no escalating or hidden charges in the event of a difficult or prolonged search, and every avenue available is searched.

Your Search is undertaken by an individually allocated researcher with at least five years personal and professional experience of searching for birth relatives in adoption and who therefore understands the significance of the search. Your researcher will remain in contact with you regulary through email, where you will be encouraged to ask any questions you may have or share any thoughts.

You will receive updates and reports as the search progresses concluding with the current name and address of your birth relative. 
All searches remain confidential.

It may have taken you a long time to come to the important decision of tracing a birth relative, which is why this service undertakes searches with care and ensures that all avenues available are meticulously checked and searched.

This service specialises in searching for birth relatives seperated through adoption and not missing persons or family tree work, which ensures an extremely high sucess rate.

Search Tools and Resources

Confidentiality and sensitivity is always ensured, as is the dedication and focus sustained in tracing your birth relative.  Although finding a person can never be guaranteed, all avenues are diligently and meticulously searched.  See TRACING A BIRTHMOTHER 

The main resources include: comprehensive searches of the Birth, Deaths and Marriages Indexes, adoption registers, parish registers, divorce registers, wills, family history centres, current and past electoral roles, other organisations databases, i.e. military, hospital, funeral directors...
There are a multitude of other tools which we also employ, depending on the information given and uncovered in the course of a search.

In addition, the entire current UK Info Disk, containing the names and addresses of over 60 million people over 18 years old and living in the UK is checked as part of the service when a final name and current address have been found.
