Your Partner in Professional Genealogy

I understand that tracing your family history is more than just piecing together names and dates; it’s about creating a rich, documented story of your heritage. As a professional genealogist, I’ve spent years in pursuit of that goal, and Pedigree Forge is the culmination of my journey—created out of necessity, refined through experience, and designed with passion.

When I first began my family history research, I quickly became disillusioned by the software available at the time. I needed tools that could handle professional-grade genealogical work: software that made entering and verifying data simple yet accurate, offered a wide range of charting options, and produced visually stunning reports. I wanted software that wasn’t a hindrance when it came to backing up claims with proper source citations—critical for serious genealogists.
