I work the gaps
for a living.
A maiden name nobody wrote down, a county line that moved, an ancestor who appears once and vanishes. I know where the trail picks back up.
You get a documented family tree. Every name, date, and connection carries a source and a confidence rating, so you know what is proven and what is still a lead.
How many direct ancestors
are back there?
Slide to how far back you want to go. It is simple math: two parents each time, so the count doubles with every generation.
Generation 4 is your 2nd great-grandparents.
direct ancestors in that one generation. 30 counting every generation from your parents back to there.
Heritage Builder covers four generations.
Let's find your peoplePlain math: 2 to the power of the generation. Real trees overlap, so this is the most names a line can hold, not a promise of what the records will show.
Simple. Thorough.
Documented.

One thread became a whole branch.
A single lead named ten siblings of one family, married names and all. Most researchers would stop there.
I followed it. Nine children of one sibling, living in Cincinnati. Fifteen grandchildren. A branch of the family that had lost track of itself for decades, put back in contact, every name documented and sourced. That is what one thread becomes in the right hands.
