Your Lineage Exists. We Prove It.
ANCHOR™ Genealogy provides forensic ancestral research and verified lineage documentation for families whose histories were lost, stolen, or deliberately erased. Our Lineage Foundation Report is your starting point — a verified foundation built on evidence, not assumption.
What You Receive
Lineage Foundation Report
A verified ancestral research report covering your direct line, documented with primary sources, DNA correlation, and ANCHOR's Bayesian Confidence Score.Your report identifies named ancestors, establishes family connections across the 1870 wall, and gives you a documented foundation you can build on — or take anywhere.
Who This Is For
Built for the Unverified
Families whose records were lost during slavery, migration, or systemic erasure. If you've hit a wall in your research, ANCHOR starts where others stop.Whether you’re starting from zero or picking up where another researcher left off — ANCHOR meets you where you are.
A photograph is evidence. So is a deed. So is a DNA segment. ANCHOR reads them all.
Built on Evidence
Every ANCHOR report is scored using our proprietary Bayesian Confidence Scoring methodology — the same framework used in forensic and investigative research. This isn't genealogy as a hobby. This is lineage as a discipline.
The 1870 Brick Wall
Before Emancipation
Before 1870, the U.S. Census didn’t record enslaved people by name — only by property. For over 40 million Black Americans, the official paper trail ends at a number, not a name.
ANCHOR specializes in crossing this wall. It’s what we were built for.
Records Burn Every Year
The Clock Is Always Running
The 1890 Census — one of the most detailed records of post-Civil War Black life — was largely destroyed in a fire. In March 2026, the Floyd County Courthouse burned. Your family’s proof could disappear before you ever look for it.
They had names. They had people. ANCHOR finds them.

Behind every name we recover, there was a life fully lived.
Why ANCHOR Exists
I built ANCHOR because I hit the wall myself. The same wall millions of Black, Indigenous, and immigrant families hit — where the records stop, the names disappear, and the system says your history doesn’t exist.
It does exist. It’s just buried. ANCHOR digs.
Your Ancestors Didn’t Disappear. Their Records Did.
ANCHOR exists to close the gap between what was erased and what can still be proven. Intake is now open for the Lineage Foundation Report.
