Built to your evidence standard, not around it
AncestorIQ is a guided genealogy research tool for professionals. It searches historical records to answer a specific research question, then shows every source behind the answer. It never resolves a conflict silently and never gives you a conclusion you can't trace. The judgment stays yours. The search time doesn't.
The searches that eat your unbillable hours
AncestorIQ takes on the record work that doesn't make it onto an invoice, so your time goes to analysis and conclusions.
- Identifying a maiden name absent from vital records
- Placing a family's residence before emigration
- Establishing parentage before civil registration
- Reconciling conflicting dates across sources
- Tracing an individual who vanishes after one census
- Distinguishing two people of the same name
- Locating records after a name change
- Extending a line beyond the early 1800s
Every answer shows its work
- Sourced to the record
Each answer links to the document behind it, the census page, the parish register, the manifest. Verification is built into the answer, not a task you do afterward.
- No silent resolutions
When sources conflict, it lays them side by side and names the discrepancy. It won't quietly pick one.
- Nothing asserted without evidence
If the records don't support a claim, it says so, instead of filling the gap with a confident guess.
