Evidence--Based Genealogy for Families and the Courts

Our expertise lies in partnering with legal professionals, courts, and families. We accurately identify and locate heirs at law and next of kin in probate matters. We conduct thorough historical research in compliance with GA Code § 36-72-5 (2024) for historic and abandoned cemeteries and burial grounds, and can offer assistance with criminal cases.

 

​In addition to working with our legal clients, we uncover family histories and identify ancestors and descendants through proven genealogical research methodology and DNA analysis. 

 

We are honored to support and work with the U.S. POW/MIA Accounting Agency in its mission to ensure that no US Army service member is left behind. By identifying next of kin and DNA-eligible relatives of unidentified remains, we help ensure that America’s heroes receive the dignity and recognition they rightfully deserve and can be brought home.
