Verified lineage research
Bring a family story to the evidence.
Provenance Line investigates a specific ancestry question with a disciplined record trail—so your report states what is proven, what remains unverified, and what the sources do not support.
Research memorandum
A conclusion is only as sound as the trail behind it.
- Question
- One defined line or relationship
- Record trail
- Sources examined and weighed
- Finding
- Clear, cited determination
The standard
Evidence before inheritance lore.
No forced answer
The final report separates supported conclusions, possibilities that need more evidence, and claims the record does not sustain.
Sources stay visible
Relevant records and published material remain attached to the reasoning, rather than disappearing behind a simplified tree.
Scope stays specific
The work starts from the unresolved connection you identify, with the research question defined before the investigation proceeds.
Methodical by design
Follow the line, test the link, document the conclusion.
Bring the tree you have and the point where confidence breaks. The review begins there—not at generation one.
01 / Define
Frame the exact claim.
A dead end, disputed identity, or proposed connection becomes a researchable question with the relevant people, places, and records in view.
02 / Test
Read records against each other.
Names, dates, places, kinship, and chronology are checked across the available source trail, with conflicts treated as evidence rather than omissions.
03 / Deliver
Receive a report built for scrutiny.
The finished findings set out the conclusion, the reasoning behind it, and the cited sources needed to follow the path yourself.
