Yesterday, I donated blood, and it struck me how deeply connected this simple act is to the heart of genealogy. Our DNA carries the stories of generations before us. A piece of our heritage can help someone else survive. www.kinalytic.com #Genealogy #DNA #OakvilleOntario

Here’s the roadmap we use for cold cases: build clusters, model a Most Recent Common Ancestor, pressure-test the tree, and export an investigative lead. If your agency needs IGG for your cold cases, we’re here.

IGG Mythbusting: TV shortcuts ≠ real life. We start with a lab-ready SNP profile, find consenting matches, build trees, and hand investigators leads, not verdicts.

Your great-grandparent left paper breadcrumbs: land records, directories, witnesses on certificates. Follow the addresses, then follow the witnesses - that’s where cousins hide.

Families carry light across oceans. Diaspora DNA matches can reconnect branches that paperwork never captured, especially when records are fragmented or split across countries.

Can you spot the clue in this ship’s manifest? A misspelled name looked like the end of a trail. Cross-checking with census records showed it was my ancestor’s arrival.

When I discovered the farms of my 4x great-grandparents, I found out how they met - they were within walking distance of each other.

Can you spot the clue in this record?

My great-great-grandfather’s birth certificate appeared ordinary until I noticed one term. That single word revealed he was born illegitimate.

Not all family heirlooms are objects…

Some of the most meaningful legacies are the traditions that unite us. A family reunion is an heirloom of its own.

This document almost stayed hidden…It was tucked between two unrelated files in an archive box, almost lost to time. Have you ever stumbled on a family document that changed everything? ⬇️
