How DNA Can Tell a Story: The Power of Investigative Genetic Genealogy
How DNA tells a story… Turning genetic clues into real answers
Every person carries a story in their DNA—one that spans generations, locations, and sometimes long-held mysteries.
Investigative genetic genealogy transforms that story into answers.
More Than Just a Test Result
A DNA test provides:
Lists of genetic matches
Shared DNA percentages
Relationship possibilities
But results don’t interpret themselves—that’s where expertise comes in.
Building the Bigger Picture
Through analysis, patterns emerge:
Clusters of related matches
Geographic connections
Shared surnames across generations
These clues help reconstruct family connections step by step.
Breaking Through Brick Walls
IGG is especially effective for:
Unknown parentage
Adoption cases
Misattributed parentage
Stalled genealogy research
Why It’s Not Instant
Every case depends on:
Available DNA matches
Record availability
Case complexity
Some answers come quickly—others require deeper investigation.
The Human Side of Discovery
Behind every case is a person seeking truth, connection, or closure.
At Trace & Truth, every discovery is handled with care, clarity, and compassion.
