Othram Maps in Action!

This image shows how we narrow down where an unknown person fits in a family tree. Each hexagon represents a person. The green labels such as 135 cM show how much DNA the unknown individual shares with certain relatives. When multiple genetic relatives point back to the same branch of a tree, we can narrow the likely position of the unknown person.

Today, much of this narrowing can be done using Othram's GGPS (Genetic Genealogical Positioning System), which evaluates all possible placements across the tree and integrates both genetic data and genealogy. Instead of manually testing one hypothesis at a time, GGPS systematically identifies the most likely location and the most informative person or close relative to test next.
This visualization comes directly from Othram Maps, where genetic and genealogical data are analyzed together in real time.

We’re so close! will you help us cross the finish line?

Earlier last year, a headless skeleton was found buried in a shallow grave just off the road in Natchez, Mississippi. The man remains unidentified, and the local agency working this case does not have the funding needed to pursue advanced forensic DNA testing. Thanks to generous support from ALL OF YOU, we’ve already raised more than 65% of the funding goal, and we’ve started work on the case. Please help us get to the finish line!

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and District 7 ME’s Office, working with Othram, have identified a 1981 homicide victim as Patrick Nordin. Investigators believe this was his birth name and are asking for the public’s help to determine whether he may have used another name. We are so grateful to the Florida Sheriff’s Association Cold Case Advisory Board for funding this case.
