At Roots & Helixes, we understand that genealogy is more than just names and dates—it's about identity, connection, and understanding where you come from.

With over 40 combined years of experience, Arlene and Clay combine traditional genealogical research methods with cutting-edge genetic genealogy techniques to break through brick walls and solve family mysteries that have remained unanswered for decades.

Whether you're an adoptee searching for biological family, a descendant wanting to join a lineage society, or simply curious about your heritage, Arlene and Clay bring professional expertise and compassionate support to your journey.

We pride ourselves on meticulous research, thorough documentation, and ethical practices. Every conclusion we reach is backed by solid evidence, and every report we deliver is crafted with care and attention to detail. Your family's story deserves nothing less than our best work.

From the first consultation to the final report, Arlene and Clay are with you every step of the way. As we dig into archives, analyze DNA results, and piece together your family puzzle, we'll keep you updated on what we're finding and where the research is leading. You're part of the discovery process, not just waiting for a final report.
