With genealogical research experience dating back to 1988, this division delivers comprehensive lineage tracing, historical documentation, and archival investigation for individuals, families, corporations, and federal certification programs. Services include multi-generational family tree reconstruction, verification of ancestral claims, historical record retrieval, estate and probate tracing, land and property lineage research, and the preparation of certified genealogical reports required for government, tribal, heritage, and economic-development certifications.
Capabilities also include specialized adoptive and biological-family research, supporting individuals seeking to understand their origins, reconnect with biological relatives, or obtain essential medical information. This includes confidential searches for birth parents, extended family members, and potential relatives relevant to urgent medical needs such as bone marrow matches, kidney donors, and hereditary health assessments. Research integrates DNA analysis, matches across major genealogical testing platforms, and document-based investigative methods to facilitate accurate and ethical reconnection.
The division brings extensive experience with complex historical research involving enslaved, Indigenous, immigrant, and marginalized communities. Work includes analysis of plantation ledgers, Freedmen’s Bureau documents, probate and property records, manumission files, ship manifests, cemetery documentation, and oral histories to reconstruct lineage paths often lost due to historical erasure.
Methodologies include deep archival retrieval, census and vital-records analysis, occupational and military research, migration pattern tracking, DNA triangulation, surname studies, local/state/federal/international database searches, and cross-referencing multiple sources to ensure accuracy and integrity. Deliverables range from certified lineage reports and ancestor portfolios to narrative family histories, digital archives, genealogical timelines, and culturally contextualized documentation tailored to each client’s purpose.
