Estate Research Genetic Genealogy (DNA)
When traditional paperwork isn’t enough to verify heirs, resolve disputes, or confirm biological relationships, DNA genealogy provides powerful, court-reliable evidence. Christine uses advanced genetic research and cross-referenced documentation to bring clarity and certainty to even the most complex estate cases.
How Genetic Genealogy Strengthens Estate Investigations
Estate and heir searches often involve incomplete records, missing individuals, or conflicting information. DNA-based genealogy fills these gaps by:
- Confirming biological relationships
- Identifying unknown or distant heirs
- Providing scientific evidence for legal proceedings
- Supporting international or multi-generational cases
Christine combines DNA analysis with meticulous document research to ensure the results stand up to legal scrutiny. This method accelerates estate settlements and reduces risk for attorneys, courts, and families.
Why Estate Attorneys & Courts Trust This Service
- Legally defensible research adhering to forensic standards
- Accurate kinship identification using advanced DNA matching
- Clear documentation suitable for probate, estate, and inheritance cases
These core features help bring resolution faster and with greater confidence.

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.

Thank you so much.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on starr pawsChristine of DavisDNA did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her work. She was fun to work with and very responsive to my suggestions. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful to provide a comprehensive history for my paternal grandfather, who died very young. In fact, he died just 2 months after my father was born and our family had no records or photographs to work with except for a death certificate. With Christine’s tenacious search, we learned a great deal about the short, but colorful life of my grandfather. His first wife was the daughter of a vaudeville actor and she was an aspiring actress and socialite. It turns out they made national news when she ran off with an aviator and married him, but wait…she was already married to my grandfather! Her bigamy was highly unusual, so her story hit all the newspapers and my grandfather was quoted in the newspaper, crying out that it was his wife, not the aviator’s. Infamy at the time, but kind of hilarious reading it now since they were so young and without children. His second wife was my grandmother and because she was so secretive about her marriage with him, we had only a few stories to go on. Despite the paucity of records for him back in the 1896-1926 period, Christine continued to dredge up a number of birth, school, marriage, death and military records along with obscure news articles. Her search results were very impressive and superbly organized with timelines and family trees. These have helped my living 98-year-old father and our family learn all about his mysterious father, and there are no words for that. We all thank you Christine!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Bonnie KellerMy experience working with Christine was terrific.
