Forensic Genealogy Services (SM), LLC works as an independent contractor for each client. We may also be retained by law firms to assist in their genealogy components. The work we do as an independent contractor to law firms will not be in conflict with the work for family member clients. As an independent genealogical contractor, we are not part of any law firm.
For the heirships to meet court-quality standard, all generations must have evidence connecting each generation to the next, the child to the parents; each generation must have evidence of birth, marriage and death; each document must be fully cited as to the source; and the report must be structured to both the genealogical and court evidence standard. These requirements go beyond the usual genealogical research and compilations of amateur family historians and researchers. Many professional genealogists do not also have experience with the court-quality standard, reports
or testimony.
When choosing a professional genealogist, please check references and qualifications. Determine if the genealogist has successful experience conducting research and preparing reports for heirship matters according to Texas laws and in Texas courts. Will the person preparing the packet be available to you should court testimony be necessary? Does the genealogist have credentials to qualify as an Expert Witness?
Professional experience includes four years of Forensic and Heirship work for attorneys, estates and Texas courts. Dee Dee King, Certified Genealogist, is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) and served as founding President of its Lone Star Chapter (2006-2007). She is also a Certified Genealogist (SM), Board for Certification of Genealogists, BCG. All work is done according to the genealogical standard, APG Code of Ethics and BCG Code of Ethics and Conduct. Note: The State of Texas does not license genealogists.
