Where lineage becomes story.
I don't just trace your ancestors. I reconstruct the world they lived in.
I combine DNA interpretation, genealogy research, and historical storytelling into something no algorithm can replicate.

Twinflower Lineage is a boutique genealogy research practice. I specialize in DNA triangulation through GEDmatch, reading foreign-language records in their original script, and weaving raw genealogical data into narratives that feel like coming home to a place you've never been.
My work sits at the intersection of science, history, and storytelling. I speak multiple languages, which means I can access records most researchers can't. And my deep love for GEDmatch means I don't just hand you a pie chart — I explain what it actually means for your family.
"I don't just trace your ancestors. I reconstruct the world they lived in."
🌱 "Where did I come from?" · 🌿 "Who are my people?" · 🌳 "What is my full story?" · 🔍 "Solve this mystery."
A focused starting point. Basic family tree (2–4 generations), light DNA interpretation, and historical context to ground your roots in real places and time periods.
Full family tree as far as records allow, deeper DNA interpretation via GEDmatch, clear ancestry pattern explanations, and a 5–10 page written narrative report.
Deep research across multiple branches, brick wall problem-solving, full DNA integration, a 10–25+ page narrative, and an ancestral timeline visualization.
Solve specific ancestry mysteries. Work through GEDmatch confusion, unknown parentage clues, or break down DNA matches step by step.
You fill out a simple form telling me what you know — names, stories, old photos, DNA kits, family lore. Everything helps. Nothing is too small. I also ask about your goals and any sensitive topics to approach with care.
I dig. Census records, immigration logs, church registers, military records, DNA triangulation through GEDmatch. I read documents in their original language when needed — no machine translation, real comprehension.
As findings emerge, you receive updates through your private client portal in the Twinflower app. Photos, documents, and analysis — organized and accessible from your phone.
I don't just hand you a chart. I write your family's story — connecting your ancestors to the wars, migrations, famines, and quiet acts of courage that shaped their lives and yours.
With your permission, I can connect you to others in our community who share your ancestry. The twinflower grows in pairs from a single root — and so do families.
Our community connects people who share heritage, ancestry, and DNA matches. Share stories. Discover relatives. Choose anonymity or openness. Your roots, your rules.
