About

Discover whether your lineage holds pathways to citizenship in countries beyond the United States, and meet — truly meet — the people whose lives made yours possible. 

You are in the right place if you want to discover or confirm that your family line contains a legal pathway to citizenship in another country and obtain the authentic documents needed to apply. 

You are also in the right place if you simply want to know who came before you — the places they lived, the wars they survived, the roles they played, the distances they crossed, and the moments — marriages, births, deaths — that link their lives to yours.

Provenance is a word that comes from the French provenir — "to come from." It is the practice of tracing something back to its source to establish authenticity, credibility, and meaning. That is precisely what this work offers: provenance. A way back. And through that way back, two distinct pathways forward — one toward citizenship, one toward meaning.
