Inventory the evidence
Organize sources attached to each person and relationship and distinguish meaningful evidence from duplicates and derivative material.
Evidence-first genealogy
Is the lineage actually supported by the evidence?
Genealogical Evidence Systems is building software that helps researchers evaluate the documentary support behind genealogical identities and relationships, identify weak links and conflicts, and decide what record to look for next.
Currently in development.
Lineage Audit
Our first planned product evaluates an ancestral path generation by generation. Rather than treating a complete tree or a large number of attached sources as proof, the system is designed to examine the quality, independence, consistency, and relevance of the underlying evidence.
Find the weak link
Surface unresolved parent-child relationships, conflicting facts, identity ambiguity, and same-name problems.
Plan the next search
Recommend the records and research steps most likely to resolve the problem.
Built for careful research
The system is being developed around a simple principle: software should help a genealogist reason from evidence, not turn an algorithmic score into a substitute for proof.
- Read-only integrations first
- Transparent explanations rather than black-box conclusions
- Attention to original versus derivative sources
- Conflict, chronology, geography, and identity analysis
- Human review remains central to final genealogical conclusions
FamilySearch integration
We intend to seek authorized FamilySearch developer access so researchers can analyze their FamilySearch Family Tree information through documented APIs. That integration is not yet available and is subject to FamilySearch approval.
