DNA Research

By taking DNA, we provide an in-depth process of researching adoptees, foundlings, lost relatives, and ancestry. We use the latest tools like DNA Painter, Gedmatch, BanyonDNA and different testing companies to find the answers you seek.

Lineage

For non-DNA clients, we take your current information and expound on it. Whether you are looking for your ancestor's immigration routes, Native American ancestors, slaves, or military ancestors, we provide the timeline and proper citations to back up the research. It's not as easy as it sounds, a lot of research looking at wills, property sales, military records, diaries, etc.

Historian / Archivist

Genealogists search out discrete facts and dates and provide citations to include census reports, vital records, property & and tax records, obituaries, etc.

We can transcribe and archive family heirlooms and papers, and interview family members for a life story or memorial.

We have performed forensic research:

*Looked for descendants for graves to be moved dating back as far as 1804.
*Researched WWII ships that were built and mostly named after fallen comrades.
*Historical Homes and property for heirship and building modifications.
