Evidence-led genealogy research
Resolve the questions your family tree can’t answer.
A family tree captures conclusions. Kin Resolve keeps the evidence trail—records, sources, research cases, DNA clues, and careful analysis—in one private workspace.
Invitation-only beta. Source available under AGPL-3.0-only.

The work behind the treeA family tree shows who.
A family tree shows who.
Research explains why.
The difficult work lives between the records: conflicting dates, missing sources, uncertain relationships, DNA clues, and questions that remain unresolved.
Kin Resolve keeps that work connected to the people and evidence it concerns—without smoothing uncertainty into a neat but unsupported answer.
A reviewable workflow
Explore the research method From imported records to reviewed conclusions.
Bring in the record
Preview a GEDCOM before applying it, preserve raw references, and keep an export path open.
Work the question
Organize evidence, hypotheses, and next steps inside a focused research case.
Compare the clues
Review documentary gaps and DNA matches without treating a suggested relationship as fact.
Publish deliberately
Check privacy, living status, and publication readiness before a profile becomes public.
Synthetic research story · Limerick to ChicagoFollow the trail
Keep the question, the clue, and the conclusion together.
Research rarely moves in a straight line. A census points to one birthplace, a parish image to another, and a DNA match opens a third branch. Kin Resolve gives that uncertainty a place to live while the work continues.
- Separate what a source says from what you infer.
- Record the conflict instead of quietly choosing a favorite.
- Show confidence without presenting a hypothesis as proof.
Current private beta
Built for the work behind the tree.
Practical research tools are available now. Production hardening and the deeper evidence agent remain visible roadmap work.
GEDCOM integrity
Preview imports, review re-import changes, preserve raw records, and export the archive again.
Research cases
Keep evidence, hypotheses, confidence, and next actions attached to the question they support.
Source workspace
Search source records and transcripts alongside the people and cases that depend on them.
DNA match triage
Score and review CSV-imported matches as research leads, then connect the useful ones to a case.
Quality checks
Surface date conflicts, privacy risks, source gaps, and profiles that are not ready to share.
Optional analysis
Use deterministic checks alone or connect an OpenAI-compatible provider for referenced analysis.
Research aid, not authority
AI that supports the researcher—not replaces one.
Kin Resolve can run structural checks without an AI provider. When an owner connects an OpenAI-compatible provider, the analyst can answer from workspace context, show the references it used, record uncertainty, and stage suggestions for review.
Provider-backed analysis may send private workspace context to the operator’s configured provider.

“Which birthplace is better supported?”
The Limerick record is currently stronger.
The parish register is closer to the event and names two relatives also present in the Chicago household. The census remains conflicting evidence, not an error to discard.

Two deliberate surfaces
Private research. Carefully shared family history.
Keep the unfinished work private.
Imported people, sources, DNA matches, cases, notes, and analysis runs stay behind authenticated workspace access.
- Research cases and hypotheses
- DNA match triage
- Source transcripts and notes
Share only after review.
Person-level publication and living-person gates protect the current public archive while more granular controls remain in development.
- Selected ancestor profiles
- Living-person privacy gates
- Publication-readiness review
