Uncovering the stories that shaped your family’s journey
At Deep Descent Genealogy Collective, we don’t just trace family trees—we uncover the rich tapestry of stories, struggles, and triumphs that define your heritage. Our specialized research goes beyond names and dates to reveal the human experiences that shaped your family’s path through history.
Enslaved Family Reconstruction: We specialize in the complex and sensitive work of reconstructing enslaved family lines. Using a combination of plantation records, freedom papers, Freedmen’s Bureau documents, and oral histories, we help African American families reconnect with ancestors whose stories were deliberately obscured by the institution of slavery. Our research honors the resilience and humanity of enslaved individuals while building bridges across generations of separation.
Military Service Research: From Revolutionary War patriots to modern veterans, we trace your family’s military heritage with precision and respect. Our research includes service records, pension files, unit histories, and battlefield accounts that reveal not just where your ancestors served, but how their service shaped their lives and communities. We specialize in uncovering the personal stories behind the uniform.
Family Tree Research: We build comprehensive family trees using meticulous research methods and verified documentation. Our approach combines traditional genealogical techniques with modern technology to trace your lineage back through multiple generations. We specialize in slaying brick walls, resolving conflicting information, and creating detailed family histories that include not just names and dates, but the stories and context that bring your ancestors to life. We’ve also helped adoptees find their birth parents and reconnected people with birth families through DNA analysis.
