1 Forensic Genealogy News February 2013 Volume 3, Issue 1 Published bimonthly by the: COUNCIL FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF FORENSIC GENEALOGY P.O. Box 1085 Manvel, Texas info@forensicgenealogists.org Progressive Leadership in the Field of Forensic Genealogy CAFG 2013 Board Members President Leslie Lawson Vice President Michael Ramage, J.D., CG Secretary-Treasurer Dee Dee King, CG Mentor Program Representative Cathi Desmarais, CG Registered Agent Kelvin Meyers Newsletter Editor Bethany Waterbury Unclaimed Kin Project has First Successes The Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy (CAFG) has established a Volunteer Initiative Program (VIP) to give back to the community while helping members gain experience. The program, coordinated by Catherine Desmarais, CG, has established "Unclaimed Kin" as its first VIP project. Associate members are researching the family members of individuals with unclaimed remains at the Walla Walla County, Washington, coroner s office. Each researcher handles a decedent s case from beginning to end, writing a professional forensic report at the conclusion. Along with Cathi, Melanie Holtz, CG, and Janice Sellers act as team leaders to mentor the associates during the research process, and the CAFG board provides feedback on each report. Five solved cases have been submitted to the coroner s office so far, and several others are nearing completion. During the process, members have learned new resources and techniques for searching for the living, expanded their professional networks, improved their report-writing skills, and built hours of forensic experience. Other VIP projects are under development as the organization s way to pay it forward to the community. Contributed by Cathi Desmarais, CG
2 Forensic Genealogy News February 2013 Volume 3, Issue 1 Page 2 Forensic Genealogy Institute II The Forensic Genealogy Institute I was a great success! The inaugural session was held mid- October 2012 at the Wyndham Love Field in Dallas, Texas. Thirty people from across the country attended. Feedback for the event was very positive. Organizers are incorporating many of the feedback ideas into plans for future Institutes. Seats for Institute I filled quickly. The waiting list ultimately equaled the number of actual enrollees. Because of this demand, Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy scheduled an encore event for April The Forensic Genealogy Institute II will be held April at the Wyndham Love Field. Institute II offers twenty-plus hours of significant hands-on instruction with realworld work examples, resources, sample forms and work materials. The embedded practicum offers an actual forensic case study that will be covered from start to finish. The registration fee is $ for CAFG members, $ for non-members. Registration fee includes enrollment in the Institute and all activities with breakfast, lunch and morning and afternoon break snacks all three days. One partial scholarship will be reimbursed to a non-cafg attendee. One CAFG Mentor Program enrollee will be reimbursed a partial scholarship. Scholarships sponsored are by Forensic Genealogy Services, LLC. The Institute staff is also developing plans for a Forensic Genealogy Institute Advanced Track, possibly as early as this fall. For more information, visit the CAFG website at: -genealogy-institute.html Those who satisfactorily complete the course will receive a Forensic Genealogy Institute Certificate of Completion.
3 Forensic Genealogy News February 2013 Volume 3, Issue 1 Page 3 Forensic Genealogy Institute II Instructors Announced With over fifty years of combined forensic genealogical experience, instructors for Forensic Genealogy Institute II are practicing professional genealogists with real life experience in the field. Michael Ramage, J.D., CG, is a full-time, professional genealogist specializing in forensic genealogy and proof of lineal descent including missing and unknown heir research, real estate, oil & gas, adoptions, and expert testimony. Kelvin L. Meyers, Forensic Genealogist, has seven years experience in forensic genealogy, a professional genealogist for the last twenty-five years and an avid researcher-historian for the last thirty-three years. Leslie Brinkley Lawson, Forensic Genealogist, has performed genealogical research for attorneys across the United States. One of her specialties is reuniting families in guardianship cases. Leslie has thirteen years experience as a forensic genealogist. Dee Dee King, CG, Forensic Genealogist, provides services to the legal and business communities and is the contract genealogist for the US Navy POW/MIA Branch. Catherine W. Desmarais, M.Ed., CG, has three years forensic genealogy experience in military repatriation, probate, trust and real estate cases.

Special guest speaker Debbie Parker Wayne, CG, CGL, is a full-time genealogist experienced in using laws and DNA analysis, as well as more traditional techniques for genealogical research.
4 Forensic Genealogy News February 2013 Volume 3, Issue 1 Page 4 Ethical??? An op-ed piece by Dee Dee King, CG Well, we got what we needed, didn t we? Are deceit and lies OK if they get the results we want? Anyone can use online public databases like Veromi or WhitePages.com in an effort to locate people. In most states, one must be a licensed private investigator, attorney, or have other valid legal access to proprietary databases that contain Social Security numbers, credit reports, and other very private information about people. What if you run out of leads for a potential heir, or a possible DNA donor in a military repatriation, or whatever you need for a case? Is it ok to stretch those rules to get what you need, to get those results? Is it OK to ask your buddy at the friendly loan company to do a credit check on your search subject? A quick check won t hurt? Is it OK to ask your paralegal friend to access the legal proprietary databases LexisNexis or Westlaw to help you find your subject? Is it OK to lie to a person on the phone, sometimes called pre-texting, in order to gain their trust and obtain information about your search subject? I m an old friend from college. Is it OK to join a DNA group project by telling the administrator you have one purpose, when indeed your purpose is entirely different and may compromise the privacy of the valid members of the group? There are right ways and wrong ways to get results. Many of these scenarios could be avoided if the researcher informed the client that the legitimate services of a private investigator were needed. Then the parties could discuss whether the genealogist or the client negotiates with the investigator. What s that old saying, Honesty is the best policy? Sticks and Stones We ve all heard the children s saying, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Or can they? Can they come back to bite us? You bet they can. False or misleading claims can damage a career and contribute towards negative feelings against a profession or segment of a profession. Genealogy list serves occasionally include threads cautioning members to carefully word their biographical and promotional information so that the reader is not misled. Recently I ve run across a rash of questionable wording on websites and other promotional material for those offering genealogical services to the legal community. Most sites are fair and accurate. Sometimes the wording is just poor content. Sometimes it s, Eh, this looks a little shady. Sometimes it is downright misleading. (Continued on page 5)
5 Forensic Genealogy News February 2013 Volume 3, Issue 1 Page 5 (Continued from page 4) Ethical???, cont. A check of websites of three prominent heir search firms found that each claims to represent the heirs in court and in all legal matters. Uh hum, that sounds like practicing law without a license if the firm is not made up of attorneys. Only a licensed attorney can represent a client in court. Or does this really mean that the heir search firm instead contracts with an attorney to represent both the heir search firm and the potential heirs? Never mind the conflict of interest of an attorney representing two different entities in the same case. Or the ethical issue of possible fee splitting by the attorney with the heir search firm. Some sites that advertise forensic genealogy include broad statements that the company s researchers are all accredited or certified. Yet these sites do not list any personnel, much less credentialed genealogists or the accrediting or certifying agencies. Some sites claim hundreds of genealogists placed all over the US and in foreign countries. What they really mean is they use the APG or other lists to find someone if needed in a certain area. These genealogists are not part of the firm; they are sub-contractors. We all need to constantly be mindful of ethics and how our actions may appear in the professional world. Networking with colleagues for advice on sticky issues is a good idea. We all need to carefully word our self-promotion. Asking for peer-review is one way to get objective feedback. Hopefully we will be able to avoid a situation where our work or our ethics are called into question.
