Testimonials
Below is a small selection of comments we have received from lawyers and beneficiaries since opening for business in December 1997. Names of individuals or companies are only used with their permission and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
I wanted to express my gratitude for help in recovering the records of my great grandparents for use in my father’s Irish Citizenship through descent process. We had some records, but they were not the type acceptable for use. Since these records were spread out between three countries, I didn’t have the knowledge or resources how to gather everything, or whether they even still existed. Valerie, and Lorna, were very helpful and acquired everything needed. My family can’t thank you enough for helping us in an endeavor that seemed impossible for us to do.
Thanks to Finders, we got in contact with a long-lost cousin, who we have really bonded with and who is coming to my wedding, a wedding that has been only possible thanks to the inheritance.
For me, its huge, for many reasons and I can only thank Finders International for that. It took two years, but it has come at exactly the right time.
Excellent service. Never mind the money, I met my long-lost cousin that I consider as my brother I never met. So grateful.
It was a pleasure to deal with Finders and I found you very professional.
Thanks so much again for all of the very hard work expended by Finders on my client’s complex conveyancing matter, I was very impressed, as was my client, with the intricate detail into which the research went.
I was completely unaware of any inheritance/financial benefits that I may have. I am disabled live on my own and I’m quite happy, then one rainy night/evening one of the reps knocked on my door and told me off my potential windfall, no numbers! I was not expecting anything!! Fast forward 1 1/2 years, I get £5750 which I turn into a new scooter and aids To help me, so I must say a big thank you to finders without whom I would never know anything! Thank you again and happy Christmas to all.
Sometimes in complex probate or conveyancing matters a standstill is reached where as a solicitor you are aware of surviving relations but for whatever reason there is difficulty in locating them. We have had a number of such cases and used Finders services with great success. The files would pretty much have been at a standstill for an indefinite period without the services of Finders who prepared a detailed professional report which greatly assisted the files reaching a swift conclusion.
Ellen, you did a wonderful job locating an heir to a decedent from the USA with very little information to go on. You were professional, effective and efficient. I will use your company in the future and I would recommend Finders to anyone. Thank you.
Very good, rapid tracing and notification of relatives.
Very helpful and friendly when I had a problem using email system.
Excellent Efficiency and Courtesy.
My deceased father’s cousin passed away. His cousin had no living immediate family and therefore his inheritance was shared with the remaining living family, aunts, cousins etc., Finders searched and found 71 members of his family from all over the UK and Ireland, an amazing find - I think this particular case is very interesting and how Finders came to have this case then finding each and every one us. The work that must have gone into this must have been astronomical.
Excellent - Not only were the next of kin traced but each potential beneficiary was researched, leaving a comprehensive account of the resulting interests.
I found working with Finders International to be a very positive experience. They quickly and efficiently researched the matter for our client and reverted with updates along the way. They provided a very comprehensive report on conclusion. Thank you to Maeve and her team.
I would highly recommend Finders International…..excellent service, quick, efficient and highly professional. Maeve is so helpful and made a difficult matter seem so much easier! She also went above and beyond what we had originally requested of her.
I was impressed with the speed and efficiency that you had. It was a very quick turnaround. The client was taken aback by Finders’ speed and efficiency.
I was delighted to discover recently that as well as assisting with complex probate and beneficiary identification Finders are also extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the area of title investigation. I was instructed in a matter involving a piece of unregistered property the title to which could not be located. Finders were very quick and efficient in assisting me with the relevant searches, eliminating irrelevant results and getting the right attested copy memorials etc. so that we could make real progress fast. We ultimately identified the title to the property required surprisingly quickly at a very reasonable cost, resulting in very happy clients. Maeve and her team at Finders helped us to look good in the eyes of our clients and enabled us to turn what might otherwise have been a dead-end file into a very productive matter for everyone concerned. I have since learned that Finders will also assist in responding to complex PRAI rulings on title and therefore the next time I encounter a problem of this nature they will be the first people that I call.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Finders for your comprehensive report. I will most definitely be using your service again.

An excellent service which can get to the bottom of missing beneficiaries in an estate. They provide all the necessary certificates (birth , marriage, death etc.) allowing the executors to finalise the estate and discharge their responsibilities.
I was very happy with the service. It took longer than expected but that was no fault of Finders. They do exactly what they say on the tin.
Finders International offer a very professional service. I found Maeve to be very pleasant, approachable and sensitive. My family and I thank Finders most sincerely for finding us. I am extremely grateful for the copy of our family tree. Now after more work myself, I am back in contact with a cousin. The money was a pleasant surprise, but being back in touch with family and being able to visit the grave of my deceased cousin are priceless blessings. Maeve was equally professional when I heard her speak on the radio. She really did a great job in promoting Finders International in Ireland.
I was kept in the loop the whole way through.

Our Firm has been using the services of Finders International for many years now and their service is second to none. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Without their assistance some of my probate files could never have been brought to a conclusion. In one recent file, Finders International were successful in tracking down a long lost cousin of the deceased enabling an Estate in Ireland to be administered. - A very thankful Solicitor and beneficiary!
We are very satisfied with regard to our dealings with your Firm to date. We look forward to using the services of Finders International again and again.
Your service was incredibly professional and efficient, the intermittent updates very informative and the ultimate reports fulfilled the brief beyond my expectation - all at a reasonable cost.
An excellent, efficient and affordable service. The searches undertaken are exhaustive, locating heirs previously unknown and even on occasion proving people to have no entitlement to either administer or share in an estate on intestacy. Finders give great comfort that an estate is being properly administered.
We have been using Finders International for several years in relation to missing and untraced beneficiaries and have found their services to be very efficient, practical, and cost-effective. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Having availed of their services I would be very happy to recommend Finders Ireland to colleagues in providing an efficient and user-friendly service in tracing missing heirs.

Thank you for supporting our search....you did a wonderful job
I thank you so much for your research and efforts in locating us, which will perhaps enable us to learn a bit more about my father’s family history
I was amazed at the extent of your research & delighted to have a little more knowledge of my Grandmother’s family………..I am very grateful to you for all your trouble

Simonne & Emma who dealt with this matter for my father were extremely helpful & friendly. Our questions were dealt with promptly and we were fully informed at all times. Excellent.

I have now received a surprisingly large cheque from the [Deceased's] estate……Without your company’s efforts I would have known nothing about all this.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in researching the genealogy of my relative. It was quite unexpected but the outcome was very welcome.
Every letter I received was helpful & easy to understand. These sort of things you read about but never think it could happen. Will make a lot of people smile; we are just ordinary great-grandparents. Thank you again for all the work you did.
Excellent, dealt with efficiently and a quick service.
I would just like to thank you on behalf of myself and my family
As it came out of the blue the information was enlightening and much appreciated. Thank you for all your efforts on my behalf. I am most pleased with the results.
This feels like a dream. I can’t explain it. I don’t know how to thank you enough. You have made a small family feel like a complete family by contacting us and giving us this information
Thank you very much for your family tree covering [the Deceased's] relatives. I really did not expect anything so comprehensive. It is absolutely fascinating…………It was most kind of you to not only forward my letter to [a relative] in New Zealand, but to cover the cost of the postage too. I wonder if they will reply!
I apologise for at first doubting your authenticity……A lawyer checked out your bonfides for me and assured me everything was “kosher” and I should complete the Agreement, which I did immediately. Again my apologies for complicating your endeavours on my behalf
Thank you so much for the unbelievable family tree that you sent me. I am in total awe and amazement that I belong to such a vast and extended family…..Once again my sincere thanks for all your hard work
I have received cheque from [solicitors] and would like to thank you for work involved in tracing me……After the shock it was a lovely surprise which will enable us to have some replacements in the home and a few more luxuries in our retirement. Very grateful.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank yourselves for all the work that you have obviously had to undertake in the search for me, thank you very much.
Many thanks for your letter and copy of our family tree. It is not just interesting, it is priceless. We have always felt isolated out here in New Zealand.
