Full refund if we add nothing new.
We go deep on one missing fact: digitised newspapers, passenger and civil indexes, and diaspora records, then a human cite-checks every claim. Every online lead we can follow is already followed.
We do not search for living people, interpret DNA matches as the product, or build a full tree. Another person, the next generation, or a sibling's line is a new brief.
