ProofTrail

About ProofTrail

ProofTrail is the first dedicated genealogy investigation workspace to bring case management, evidence, DNA analysis, hypothesis testing, timelines, research tracking, collaboration and reporting together in one connected system.

Genealogy research rarely lives in one place. Records are stored on one platform, DNA results on another, screenshots in your camera roll, theories in notes, correspondence in email and research progress somewhere else entirely.

ProofTrail brings the investigation together.

Built for family historians, professional genealogists, genetic genealogists and anyone solving a complex family mystery, ProofTrail gives you one workspace to organize the people, evidence, relationships and reasoning behind your research.

With ProofTrail, you can:

• Manage multiple genealogy investigations as individual cases
• Organize people, evidence, sources and correspondence
• Import and analyze DNA match data
• Compare shared DNA, segments, relationships and match clusters
• Build visual investigation boards connecting people and evidence
• Create chronological timelines to uncover patterns and gaps
• Build hypotheses and track evidence for and against each theory
• Maintain a complete research log and audit trail
• Track research sessions, billable time and case value
• Collaborate with researchers and provide controlled client access
• Generate organized investigation reports
• Use AI assisted document transcription and clue extraction with researcher review
• Keep every discovery connected to the larger investigation

ProofTrail does not replace your family tree or the DNA platforms you already use. It gives you the investigation layer they were never designed to provide.

AI assists. You verify. You decide what becomes evidence.

From a single unanswered question to a complex biological parent investigation, ProofTrail turns scattered clues into a clear, documented trail of research.

One case. One workspace. Every clue connected.
