At Royal Genealogy Enterprises I will be working with two distinct groups. The Forensic group will look like this. I will be working with lawyers, trusts, estates, courts, law firms, military departments, Government agencies, Medical Examiners, Insurance Companies, Banks, Trusts, Real Estate Industry, Oil & Gas & Mineral Co
mpanies, Corporations, Businesses, Individuals and Families. I will be a resource and researcher on probate and estate cases - known heirs, unknown heirs, missing heirs; heirs and beneficiaries of trusts and insurance accounts; due diligence affidavits; next of kin guardianship cases or youth transitioning from foster care to adoption; capital mitigation in death sentence cases; immigration and citizenship cases; civil pension or social security or veteran's benefits; land issues involving title, adverse possession, rights of way, lis pendens, or muniment of title; oil, gas, and mineral royalties; identification and location of next of kin or DNA donors in matters involving unclaimed descendants or POW/MIA personnel repatriation; Identification of next of kin prior to cemetery removals; and Provenance, class action claimants, or intellectual property rights.
This means working with a tremendous amount of detail, accuracy, integrity, competency, access to content, analytical discernment, and out-of-the-box research. I will sometimes be called upon in court to be an expert witness and provide my research.

The Family Histories Group looks like a tree but not just with names, places and dates on it, but family stories. What happened to these people? Who are they? How did they live? What happened in their lives? Did they have to live through a devastating storm like we did? Why are they important to who I am now? Why should I care? This research can find family skeletons, funny happenings, medical history, famous ancestors, heroic deeds, and some not so heroic deeds. Family history is a tapestry that makes up part of who we are and where we came from. It's hard to know where we are or where we are going if we don't know where we have been. I will be looking at birth, death and marriage records. I will be looking for probate records, family bibles, ancillary family lines, both male and female lines, DNA, open adoption records, medical histories, church records, civil records, census records, SSDI, cemetery records, town directories, and many other records. The people I will be working with will be individuals, family groups, family reunions, family gifts, family legacies, and permanently recording oral histories before they are lost. I work with other genealogists, linguists, historians, DNA interpreters, and other experts.
