We help people strengthen their identity and connect to their families and communities.
When we are disconnected from our families, we are disconnected from ourselves, causing us to feel adrift, less resilient, and alone. When we lose sight of who we are as individuals, we judge our neighbors and forget our common experiences which in turn leads to the instability of communities, affecting economies and cultures.
We believe that connecting with our families, past and present, can provide us with a sense of belonging, identity and ancestral resilience we can use to unify communities and lead to a personal sense of contribution and fulfilment. Because connection drives contribution for a more peaceful and resilient world.

You Can Believe in Us, Too
We’ve been working in genetic genealogy since the beginning. Our founder, Diahan Southard, and other team members got their start in the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation. All we do is DNA education. We’ve learned over time how people learn DNA most effectively. We’ve even developed our own signature SPIN process, which drives confident, lasting learning in Your DNA Guide–the Academy.
