the story of you began long ago.

​We are bound to our ancestors. Their decisions, in many ways, affect who we are now.

 

We understand ourselves better when we understand the lives and decisions of those who gave us life. We help uncover family stories and unknown identities of ancestors by solving complex genealogical puzzles.

 

Scientific advances like Genetic Genealogy use our DNA to help us discover our unknown ancestors.

​

In addition to our personal client projects, we work with legal professionals and courts to identify and locate potential living heirs and Next of Kin in probate cases. We partner with municpalities, governmental agencies, organizations, and foundations to conduct detailed genealogical research that adheres to GA Code § 36-72-5 (2024) for historic and abandoned cemeteries and burial grounds or burials relocation.

​

We are especially honored to serve the U.S. Army POW/MIA Accounting Agency in their sacred mission to never leave a soldier behind. By identifying next of kin and DNA-eligible relatives of unidentified service members' remains, we play a part in ensuring that America’s heroes are returned home with the dignity and respect they deserve.
