DNA Match Analysis
Organize matches, identify family clusters, and connect genetic relationships to documented ancestors.
- Shared-match clustering
- Candidate tree building
- Relationship hypotheses
Polish DNA and genealogy research
Forgotten Branch combines DNA matches, Polish archives, historical geography, and traditional genealogy to rebuild missing family lines.
Start with a precise family question.
Compare DNA evidence with documentary records.
Separate proven facts from plausible leads.
Research services
Projects can focus on a single ancestor, an unknown parent line, a lost village, or a broader reconstruction of a Polish family branch.
Organize matches, identify family clusters, and connect genetic relationships to documented ancestors.
Search church books, civil registers, military records, indexes, and regional archives.
Receive a documented explanation of the evidence, conclusions, limitations, and next steps.
Research method
Every conclusion should be traceable to the evidence supporting it. The research process is designed to make that chain visible.
Names, dates, family stories, documents, DNA platforms, and known locations.
Compare records, geography, naming patterns, and DNA relationships.
Record the sources, explain the reasoning, and mark unresolved conflicts.
Deliver findings in plain language with practical next steps.
Why Polish genealogy is different
Polish records can appear in Polish, Latin, German, or Russian. Borders changed, place names shifted, and families moved across regions that no longer exist under the same names.
Effective research follows the historical jurisdiction of the record rather than relying only on modern maps or surname databases.
Strong conclusions are distinguished from tentative leads.
Family and DNA information is used only for the agreed research purpose.
The result is an explanation, not an unexplained pile of documents.
Research inquiry
Include an approximate date, a possible location, and whether anyone in the family has taken a DNA test.
