Building Your Family Tree: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before we begin, let’s take a quick look at how you can build a family tree, according to our expert traditional family researchers.
Start with Yourself: Begin by documenting your own life story. Note your full name, date of birth, place of birth, parents’ full names (including your mother’s maiden name), and any siblings. Include details about where you’ve lived, your education, marriage, and children.
Explore Your Parents’ Lives: Take a look into your parents’ histories. Research their birthdates, places of birth, marriages, and siblings. Gather information about their childhoods, occupations, and significant life events.
Trace Backwards: The key to successful genealogical research is to work backward in time. Start with the most recent generations and gradually move further back. This systematic approach helps prevent you from getting lost in a maze of potential ancestors.

We were stumped on a multi-heir probate case and DavisDNA delivered us an incredibly detailed report with contact information for all 34 heirs in less than 2 weeks. I couldn't recommend their services any more, highly professional, prompt, and detailed. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Posted on Terry CowleySo many surprises and so much we have learned about our grandparents and their parents all the way past 5th great! It has been a pleasure working alongside DavisDNA. Christine and her group are so very thorough and caring about their work. It makes us feel like part of her family. We will cherish this book for many more generations to come as we add to it. 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.

I’d done everything I could to try to figure out who my mom’s biological father was, no luck. I hired Christine and soon after, she was able to complete our family puzzle and notify us who my grandpa is! I had nothing prompt and clear communication from Davis DNA. I would highly recommend this company for any DNA related services.
