ABOUT US

Our trained genealogists can design a research plan, produce a detailed family tree, and write a professionally sourced and annotated narrative of your family's history.
We break down brick walls and are happy to help with your next steps, such as acquisition of primary source documents, or finding and interpreting old documents.
We know where to FIND the documents you need out of the billions of records digitized or held in repositories.
Cypher Genealogy, LLC can help you interpret DNA and match reports from all of the major companies out there. We can review your report with you to see if there is additional information to be gained, suggest further research or offer recommendations on further DNA testing options.
Genetic genealogy isn't effective unless you have a good understanding of what the genetic data means and how it relates to your ancestry.
Cypher Genealogy, LLC uses genetic genealogy, advanced DNA analysis techniques and traditional genealogy to find a biological parent, a sibling or a missing person. It is also used to identify human remains or potential suspects in cold case investigations.
We believe in the power of DNA. It changes lives, allowing us to better understand ourselves and our ancestral origins.
We aren't a genetics company. we are a genealogy company.
Cypher Genealogy, LLC performs a reasonably exhaustive search on the best sources possible, resolves conflicts in information, and comes to an evidence-based conclusion (1,2).
We value client privacy and do not publish your data or family history online without your permission.
At Cypher Genealogy, we believe that your family history is your story to tell.
