Evidence and source capture
Capture records, PDFs, images, selected text, source URLs, and notes, then route them into the correct case instead of leaving research scattered across downloads and browser tabs.
Genealogy Tools for Professional Genealogists
Professional genealogy usually requires a stack of tools: tree software, spreadsheets, cloud folders, notes, email, DNA sites, timelines, and report documents. ProofTrail brings the investigative parts of that workflow into one case-centered system.
Research logs, timelines, and hypotheses
Track what you searched, what was not found, what changed your thinking, which theories remain open, and which evidence supports or conflicts with each hypothesis.
DNA workspace and comparison tools
Organize DNA profiles, matches, shared matches, segment information, cM totals, relationship estimates, and internal comparison results without requiring raw genotype uploads.
Reports, collaboration, and client delivery
Turn the case record into researcher-reviewed reports, share selected material with clients, collaborate with specialists, and keep permissions tied to the case.
