🌳 Family Lineage & Pedigree Proof

  • Trace your family tree to identify parents, grandparents, and earlier generations.
  • Resolve β€œbrick wall” problems where the trail has gone cold.
  • Document descent for lineage societies (DAR, SAR, Mayflower, etc.).

🧱 Breaking Through Brick Walls

  • Burned counties, migrations, and name changes investigated.
  • Analysis using both direct and indirect evidence.

πŸ›Ά Immigrant Origins & Place of Birth

  • Identify ancestral villages or towns in Europe and beyond.
  • Translate and analyze foreign-language records (church, civil, passenger lists).
  • Contextual research on migration routes and communities.

🧬 DNA Analysis & Genetic Genealogy

  • Interpret DNA results from AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, 23andMe, FTDNA, and GEDmatch.
  • Build and test hypotheses using triangulation and cluster analysis.
  • Combine DNA with documentary research for proof-level results.
  • Minimum 20-hour projects due to complexity.

🌎 Heritage & Ethnic Research

  • Explore cultural heritage and ancestral communities.
  • Test family traditions (e.g., Native American, Jewish, Scottish descent).
  • Research surname origins and meaning.

⏳ Historical Context Research

  • Place ancestors in their time: wars, migration, religion, daily life.
  • Provide maps, photographs, and community history for richer storytelling.

πŸ” Verification & Audit of Family Trees

  • Review existing family trees for accuracy and sources.
  • Correct errors from online trees or unsourced family lore.
  • Deliver a clean, documented version for future generations.

πŸ“ How Projects Are Structured

  • Initial Consultation: Define your goals and existing information.
  • Written Agreement: Outlines scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees.
  • Research & Analysis: Conducted to genealogical proof standards.
  • Final Report: Detailed narrative with sources, charts, and recommendations.
