Beyond Traditional Genealogy: The Power of DNA

Our expertise extends beyond traditional genealogical research. We integrate cutting-edge DNA analysis to unravel intricate family connections and overcome roadblocks that may arise from incomplete or missing records.

This powerful combination allows us to:

Verify familial relationships: DNA testing can confirm or refute presumed relationships, ensuring that the rightful heirs are identified.

Uncover unknown relatives: DNA analysis can reveal previously unknown family connections, potentially leading to the discovery of heirs who may have been unaware of their entitlement.

Resolve conflicting information: In cases where traditional genealogical research yields conflicting information, DNA testing can provide definitive answers.

Every family and legal case is unique. Here’s how DavisDNA has made a difference.

I enjoyed working with Christine. She was very helpful and flexible and even did more than I expected. She also worked outside of regular work hours/days to deliver earlier than actually promised.

They far exceeded my expectations. I did not expect to get my ancestry back into the 1700s.

Christine was wonderful to work with. While we were not able to achieve our goals, I feel she put a lot of effort into trying. She was available, answered emails, and shared information.
