How we Can
Help You

At Kindred Found, we specialize in reconstructing complex family relationships to identify heirs and next of kin. We work with attorneys, title companies, and the courts to locate missing or unknown heirs. Our goal is to help resolve probate and title issues efficiently, accurately, and with confidence.

Military repatriation

We are proud to support the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) by identifying the next of kin and extended family of missing service members. Our research helps bring home those still unaccounted for from World War II. It's a privilege to play a role in honoring their sacrifice.

DNA Cases

We accept select cases involving DNA analysis to identify unknown parents, grandparents, and other relatives. With experience in both autosomal and Y-DNA interpretation, we have solved dozens of challenging genetic genealogy cases.
