Built for serious genealogy research
Your family tree is not your research system.
Records in one place. DNA somewhere else. Notes on your phone. Screenshots you cannot find. ProofTrail keeps the entire investigation together so you can turn scattered research into an evidence-backed conclusion.

The problem
Stop rebuilding the same case in six different places.
A tree can show relationships. It cannot, by itself, preserve why you believe those relationships are true, what contradicts them, what you searched, or what should happen next.
Keep records, screenshots, PDFs and notes tied to the people they actually support.
Track DNA evidence alongside documentary evidence instead of in a separate silo.
Test hypotheses, flag contradictions and preserve the reasoning behind your conclusion.
See the next research action without digging through tabs, notebooks or old spreadsheets.
One investigation workspace
Everything should point back to the question.
Case workspace
People, evidence, tasks, timelines and research history stay together.
DNA research
Keep DNA match information connected to the documentary investigation.
Hypotheses & conflicts
Record what the evidence supports, challenges and leaves unresolved.
Reports
Synthesize the trail into a structured conclusion when the case is ready.
Start with a real case, not a demo.
Build the case free. Upgrade when you are ready to synthesize it into an evidence-linked report or expand into more investigations.
