Genealogy - How Does It Help Heir Hunters? Heir hunting can often be a difficult process, trying to track down heirs for inheritances which haven’t been claimed. However, by using genealogy, the process can become much simpler, and more efficient. So what is genealogy, and how can it assist heir hunters with their investigations? So what is genealogy? Genealogy is the study of family history, as a basic explanation. The term is synonymous with family history, and involves the study of families, tracing their ancestry back hundreds of years, to establish a family tree. This can be done for many reasons, such as the preservation of knowledge of a person’s ancestors, or to determine the line of descendants in a family. The process is conducted in many different ways, and can involve creating genetic links between relatives, as well as using family documents and records to examine and evaluate the relationships between people to determine if there’s an ancestral connection. For example, using birth and death certificates can allow genealogists to accurately track the line of parents and children, right down to the present day. There are also all kinds of websites and projects which operate on an informal basis, where people collaborate to try and help each other identify relatives and ancestors by sharing knowledge. There’s also specialist programs which allow reports to be created on the matter. So how does this help heir hunters? Heir hunters use the genealogy process to help identify potential relatives. Most professional heir hunters are well equipped to start creating a family tree and establish a connection between family members. The use of genealogy can be imperative within the process of heir hunting because, without it, it’s harder for heir hunters to establish if people are related. When trying to identify if someone has a legitimate claim to an inheritance, or determine if someone is an heir to an inheritance, building an accurate family tree will not only allow you to establish the claims but would also have the beneficial effects of shedding light on hidden relatives that people have but aren’t immediately aware of. They can also have access to all the birth and death records of an individual with much more ease than normal people can, as they have more time and resources available. Overall, the place of genealogy in the role of heir hunting can be extremely important for establishing the family tree and identifying if someone has a claim to the inheritance of a long lost relative. By looking at all the birth records and death records, heir hunters can begin to put together a comprehensive list of ancestors that can stretch back hundreds of years, and they can use this to identify if you do in fact have a claim. As well as this, the processes involved in creating the family tree can be useful to identify if there are other long lost relatives, and if they have claims to the inheritance and if their claims are equally valid or if not more valid.
