COADB & Time Jump Genealogy combines traditional genealogical research with genetic genealogy techniques to investigate family relationships and help resolve ancestry mysteries.

Our DNA Research Services Include:

- Biological father and mother identification

Available DNA Research Packages:

Silver DNA Research – $300 Minimum

$30 per hour with a 10-hour minimum, plus applicable document costs. Suitable for targeted DNA questions, evaluation of specific matches, and preliminary investigations.

Gold DNA & Genealogy Package – $1,900

A comprehensive genetic genealogy investigation providing 100+ hours of research and analysis. Includes extensive DNA match evaluation, historical record research, examination of potential biological relationships, and development of a proposed family tree based on the findings.

Our Research Approach

DNA matches are evaluated alongside historical records, documented family relationships, and available genealogical evidence.

Research conclusions are explained in a professional report, distinguishing confirmed relationships from probable connections and hypotheses requiring additional evidence.

While no genealogical investigation can guarantee the identification of an unknown ancestor, our goal is to follow the evidence as thoroughly as possible and provide meaningful, well-supported findings.

All DNA research is conducted remotely, and client information is handled with confidentiality.

Probate Genealogy, Heir Identification & Estate Research

COADB and Time Jump Genealogy provides specialized genealogical investigations for attorneys, estate representatives, administrators, trustees, and individuals seeking to identify and document family relationships relevant to inheritance and estate matters.

Our research focuses on reconstructing family relationships, tracing descendants and collateral family branches, and identifying potential heirs through available historical and genealogical evidence.

Services May Include:

- Identification of potential heirs and family relationships
- Descendant and collateral-line research
- Investigation of deceased or missing family members
- Reconstruction of extended family trees
- Research involving intestate estates
- Verification of births, marriages, deaths, and family connections
- Preparation of kinship charts and genealogical reports
- Genealogical due diligence investigations
- Supporting documentation for heirship affidavits
- Historical probate and estate record research

Probate & Heirship Research Package – Starting at $569

The standard package provides an initial genealogical investigation based on the information available and the scope of the case.

Complex estates involving numerous family branches, extensive descendant tracing, multiple jurisdictions, or identification of living heirs may require a customized research proposal.

Professional Documentation

Research findings may be presented in a genealogical report, descendant chart, kinship analysis, or supporting affidavit documentation, depending on the project.

We work to distinguish documented relationships from unverified connections and clearly identify research limitations.

Genealogical findings support legal investigations but do not independently establish legal entitlement to an estate. Final determinations of heirship are made by the appropriate legal authorities.

Services are available remotely throughout the United States.

Dual Citizenship & Ancestry Documentation

Are you interested in obtaining citizenship through your parents, grandparents, or earlier ancestors? COADB & Time Jump Genealogy provides professional genealogical research to help individuals document their ancestral connections for citizenship-by-descent applications.

With more than 38 years of genealogical research experience, I assist clients in tracing family lines, identifying historical records, and assembling organized genealogical documentation.

Our services may include:

• Researching ancestral birthplaces and family relationships
• Tracing ancestors through immigration, census, and vital records
• Locating birth, baptismal, marriage, and death records
• Investigating historical records from the United States, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and other countries

Dual Citizenship Genealogy Package – $669

This package includes genealogical research, available supporting documentation, family lineage charts, and preparation of an organized portfolio suitable for accompanying a citizenship application.

There are no additional genealogy research fees for the agreed package scope. Government-issued certificates, certified copies, archival fees, translations, apostilles, and other application expenses are separate.

Please note that citizenship eligibility and final approval are determined by the appropriate government authorities. Our services provide genealogical research and documentation, not legal immigration advice or guaranteed citizenship approval.

Research services are available remotely throughout the United States and internationally.

Military Ancestor & Lineage Society Research

Did your ancestor serve in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, or another military conflict? Are you interested in joining a hereditary or lineage society?

COADB & Time Jump Genealogy specializes in researching military ancestors, documenting historical service, and establishing genealogical connections between present-day descendants and their ancestors.

Our services may include:

• Revolutionary War military and patriotic service research
• Civil War Union and Confederate military records
• World War I and World War II military ancestry
• Military pension and service record investigations
• Draft registrations, enlistment records, and veteran records
• Military burial and cemetery research
• Historical military unit identification and service timelines
• Tracing documented descent from qualifying ancestors
• Preparation of lineage charts and supporting genealogical evidence
• Research assistance for DAR, SAR, and other hereditary society applications

For lineage society applications, I work to establish each generational connection through available historical documentation, including birth, marriage, death, probate, census, and other relevant records.

Completed research may include a professional genealogical report, documented pedigree charts, source citations, and copies of available historical records.

Pricing depends on the number of generations requiring documentation, availability of records, and complexity of the research. Targeted investigations may be available through our Silver Research Package at $30 per hour, with a 10-hour minimum plus applicable document costs.

Membership eligibility and acceptance are determined by the individual lineage society. Military records and supporting documents are subject to availability.

Native American & Tribal Ancestry Research

Are you researching possible Native American ancestry or trying to document a family connection to a particular tribe?

COADB & Time Jump Genealogy provides historical and genealogical investigations designed to identify ancestral connections through available tribal, federal, state, and historical records.

Our research may include:

• Investigation of Native American ancestral family lines
• Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek (Muscogee), and other tribal ancestry research
• Dawes Rolls and associated enrollment card investigations
• Cherokee Freedmen and other Freedmen ancestry research
• Historical tribal census and enrollment records
• Indian Territory and federal census investigations
• Examination of historical applications, allotment records, and family documentation
• Tracing descendants from identified historical ancestors
• Preparation of documented lineage charts and genealogical research reports
• Organization of supporting records for tribal enrollment inquiries

Our research focuses on establishing documented genealogical relationships rather than relying solely on family traditions, surname associations, or ethnicity estimates from DNA tests.

When an ancestor is located in a historical enrollment record, I investigate the generational connections between that individual and the client, identifying available supporting documents and any remaining evidentiary gaps.

Pricing is determined by the scope and complexity of the investigation. Focused research may begin with our Silver Research Package at $300 for 10 hours, plus applicable document costs.

Important: Each federally or state-recognized tribe establishes its own membership and enrollment requirements. Historical ancestry does not automatically establish eligibility, and genealogical research cannot guarantee enrollment or tribal citizenship.

Services are available remotely throughout the United States.

Coat of Arms, Heraldry & Surname History

Discover the history behind your family name and explore the fascinating world of heraldry.

COADB & Time Jump Genealogy provides surname history and heraldic research, investigating the historical origins of family names, documented coats of arms, and the families associated with them.

Our services may include:

• Surname origin and historical meaning research
• Investigation of geographical surname origins
• Historical surname spelling variations
• Research into documented coats of arms
• Identification and explanation of heraldic symbols
• Interpretation of heraldic descriptions and blazons
• Investigation of historical families associated with particular arms

• Preparation of surname history reports
• Heraldic artwork and family history presentation options

Surname History Research – $249

Our surname history package investigates the documented origins and historical development of a family name using available reference materials and historical sources.

Additional genealogical research may be required to establish whether a particular coat of arms belongs to an ancestor in your direct family line.

An important distinction in heraldry is that coats of arms are generally associated with particular individuals and their qualifying descendants rather than automatically belonging to everyone who shares a surname.

Our goal is to help clients understand the documented history of their surnames and distinguish historical heraldic associations from proven family entitlement.

Research and completed reports are available remotely to clients throughout the United States and internationally.
