FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions about Osisi & Co. and Radiance in Exile. If your question is not answered here, email me at hello@osisiandco.com.

What kind of work do you do?

I offer genealogy research, family tree audits, one-on-one teaching, ancestry story writing, and speaking, all centred on legacy, identity and remembrance. Every service is approached with care for the emotional side of this work.

Do you do genealogy research for clients?

Yes. My Heritage Research Package is full, documented research done for you, with a written report of what I find. If you would rather do the research yourself, a Family Tree Audit or a Genealogy Coaching session gives you expert guidance and a clear roadmap for your next steps. Everything is listed on my Work With Me page.

Do you help with tribal enrollment, legal recognition, or government paperwork?

No. I do not assist with legal filings, tribal enrollment applications, land claims, or government recognition processes. I can help clarify historical records and research direction, but legal matters must be handled by the appropriate authorities.

I am adopted, or searching for biological family. Can you help?

Yes, with care and boundaries. I offer guidance, storytelling support, and strategic direction for adoptees navigating records and identity questions. This work is approached gently and intentionally.

Is your work faith-based?

My work is spiritually grounded, but open to all. Faith may inform my perspective, but sessions are respectful, inclusive, and focused on the individual's story.

How do I work with you?

Every engagement begins with a Discovery / Fit Call, booked through the Work With Me page. Fifteen minutes, $30, credited against your first invoice if we go on to work together. It ensures we are aligned and that I can serve you well.

Do you offer refunds?

Digital downloads are final once delivered, and hours already spent on research are not refundable. There are cases where a refund does apply, including cancelling before research begins and a file that will not open. The full terms are on my Refund Policy page.

What if the records do not survive?

Sometimes they do not. The 1890 federal census burned, courthouses burned, and for Black American families the documented federal record generally stops at the 1870 census. A wall, found and documented and explained, is still a real result, and I will tell you honestly what the odds are before you pay rather than afterwards.
