Case management for genealogy research
Keep people, relationships, evidence, research actions, hypotheses, timelines, investigation events, and unresolved work together instead of splitting a case across spreadsheets, notes, folders, and email.
Professional Genealogy Software Built Around the Research Case
ProofTrail is a genealogy research workspace for professionals and serious researchers who need more than a family tree. It organizes the investigation itself: what you searched, what you found, what conflicts, what the DNA supports, and what still needs to be proved.
DNA match analysis without raw genotype storage
Organize match and comparison metadata, shared cM, segments, shared matches, testing platforms, and relationship hypotheses while keeping DNA work tied to the documentary case.
Professional reports and audit trails
Generate and review research reports, preserve report versions, maintain an immutable research audit trail, and export case material when needed.
Client and collaborator workflows
Share a controlled client portal, invite collaborators with scoped permissions, work with hired professionals, and keep the client-facing story separate from researcher-only working material.
