As a Genealogy & Genetic Detective, I bring together careful research, evidence-based analysis, and DNA-informed evaluation to identify errors, correct misinformation, and restore accuracy to your family tree. Whether your tree is online, in print, or passed down through family notes, gDetective.com provides a clear, documented version you can trust.
Review for Accuracy & Sources
I examine your existing family tree from any source, including:
-
Online platforms such as Ancestry, MyHeritage, or FamilySearch
-
Printed family histories and genealogy books
-
Research compiled by relatives or prior researchers
Every relationship is assessed against original records when available—census, probate, land, church, military—as well as DNA patterns when relevant. As a Genealogy & Genetic Detective, my role is to confirm what is accurate, identify what is questionable, and separate fact from assumption.
Correcting Errors & Untangling Myths
Many trees carry long-standing mistakes or confusing merges. I identify and resolve common issues such as:
-
Incorrect or mislinked parents and children
-
Duplicate or conflated individuals
-
Mix-ups among people with similar names
-
Family myths unsupported by documentation
-
Conflicts between the paper trail and DNA evidence
You receive a clear explanation for each correction, supported by sources and reasoning.
Delivering a Clean, Documented Tree
Your completed audit provides a reliable, evidence-backed version of your family tree that:
-
Removes errors, unsupported branches, and outdated assumptions
-
Includes citations for each verified relationship
-
Stands up to genealogical review standards
-
Provides a strong foundation for lineage society applications and future research
-
Is suitable for sharing with family or long-term preservation
