Bode Forensic Genealogy Service (FGS)
Forensic Genealogy utilizes traditional genealogy research with advanced DNA testing to help identify potential links to unknown profiles.Traditional genealogy traces lineages throughout history to develop family trees and demonstrate relationships between individuals. Forensic genealogy incorporates those practices and DNA analysis to enable researchers to develop those same relationships from an unknown sample.
The ability to solve a case begins with identifying the best cases and samples suitable for testing. Bode offers a Free FGS Assessment/ Case Review to our clients.

About Bode Forensic Genealogy Service
Develop more investigative leads from violent crimes. DNA is a valuable tool in supporting investigations, but not all cases processed result in a match in traditional databases.
Utilizing forensic genealogy can provide investigators with new investigative leads for these unmatched cases. By establishing ancestral roots to an unknown profile, Bode’s Forensic Genealogy team can work to help identify relatives and sometimes the identity of the sample itself for our clients.
