Forensic Research

Detailed investigations to uncover hidden family histories.

Probate and Estate Cases: Identifying, locating, and proving legal heirs for intestate estates (when someone dies without a will) or finding beneficiaries for unclaimed property.

  • Unknown Parentage/Adoption: Assisting adoptees or individuals with unknown parents in finding biological families through DNA analysis.

  • Missing and Unidentified Remains: Helping law enforcement and medical examiners identify deceased individuals (cold cases, disaster victims).

  • Criminal Investigations: Using DNA matches from consumer databases to narrow down suspects in cold cases.

  • Citizenship and Land Issues: Proving lineage for citizenship-by-descent cases or verifying ownership in property disputes.

The journey from DNA testing to genealogical history transforms raw genetic data into ancestral stories by combining DNA matches and ethnicity estimates with genealogical traditional research. This process involves analyzing autosomal, Y-DNA, or mtDNA to find living relatives and verify or refute paper-trail pedigrees, creating a comprehensive, often surprising, family history.
