🔍 Verification & Audit of Family Trees
Online trees and shared family histories can be a helpful starting point—but without documentation, they often contain errors, missing generations, or even the wrong ancestors altogether. At JLE Genealogy, I specialize in auditing existing family trees, correcting mistakes, and delivering a reliable version that can be trusted for years to come.
Review for Accuracy & Sources
I carefully examine your existing family tree, whether it comes from:
-
Online platforms like Ancestry, MyHeritage, or FamilySearch
-
Printed family histories or genealogy books
-
Compiled research from relatives
Each fact is checked against original records where possible, and every relationship is evaluated for accuracy.
Correcting Errors & Myths
Many trees carry forward unsourced information or family lore that has never been verified. I identify and correct common issues, including:
-
Wrongly linked parents or children
-
Duplicated individuals
-
Confusion between people with the same name
-
Myths or traditions not supported by evidence
My goal is not only to correct mistakes but to explain why changes are needed, with clear documentation.
Deliver a Clean, Documented Tree
The result of an audit is a clean, streamlined family tree that:
-
Removes errors and unsupported connections
-
Includes citations and documentation for each relationship
-
Is ready to share with family or pass to future generations
-
Provides a stronger foundation for continued research or lineage society applications
