About Time Jump Genealogy Time Jump Genealogy is a full-service genealogical research and heritage documentation firm specializing in family history reconstruction, DNA analysis, and heraldic artistry. Based in Kansas and serving clients worldwide, Time Jump Genealogy is dedicated to connecting people with their ancestral stories — whether for lineage-society applications, dual-citizenship dossiers, heirship affidavits, or beautifully crafted family lineage books that preserve legacies for generations to come. Our mission is simple: to bridge the past and the present through evidence-based research, advanced genetic genealogy, and professional historical storytelling. We combine cutting-edge technology with traditional archival methods to uncover hidden connections, verify ancestral lines, and create richly documented family histories that meet the highest genealogical proof standards. Our Story and Founder Time Jump Genealogy was founded by Tammy Eledge, a professional genealogist, heraldic researcher, and historical writer whose passion for ancestry began with her own family’s multi-generational stories across the American frontier. Tammy’s work is guided by a belief that genealogy is more than names and dates — it’s about context, culture, and connection. With years of experience in both American and international genealogy, Tammy has become known for her meticulous research style and her ability to weave complex evidence into clear, compelling narratives. She has successfully completed hundreds of client projects involving European, Indigenous, and colonial American lineages, and she collaborates frequently with heraldic archives, legal firms, and lineage societies. Her unique background spans both the artistic and scientific sides of genealogy — from designing historically accurate coats of arms and family crests to interpreting DNA test results using cluster analysis, triangulation, and relationship hypothesis modeling. Tammy’s research has helped clients not only prove ancestry for societies such as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), and Mayflower Society, but also to establish eligibility for dual citizenship through descent in countries such as Italy, Germany, Spain, and Ecuador. The name “Time Jump” reflects the company’s philosophy — the ability to “jump through time” using the tools of modern science, historical documentation, and digital artistry to reconstruct the lives of those who came before us. What Sets Us Apart 1. Integration of Traditional Research with Advanced DNA Analysis Time Jump Genealogy stands at the intersection of documentary research and genetic genealogy. While many firms specialize in one or the other, our approach blends both disciplines seamlessly. Using raw DNA data, we build relationship hypotheses, cluster maps, and segment analyses to pinpoint ancestral origins and verify documentary conclusions. This multi-layered approach has solved dozens of complex cases involving unknown parentage, adoption, and historical misattribution. 2. Professional Heraldic Artistry and Verification As the research partner of COADB.com (the Coat of Arms Database), Time Jump Genealogy offers authentic heraldic research and digital artwork. Every coat of arms or crest we create is grounded in heraldic tradition and verified against historical armorials such as Rietstap’s Armorial Général, Burke’s Landed Gentry, and official College of Arms visitations. We specialize in custom-designed arms that reflect both lineage and symbolism, available in full color, line-art, or vector format — suitable for publication or display. 3. Lineage Society Applications We provide turnkey packages for heritage organizations including the DAR, SAR, Mayflower Society, Order of the Founders and Patriots of America (OFPA), Colonial Dames, and General Society of the War of 1812. Our research meets the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and includes fully cited documentation, direct and indirect evidence correlation, and narrative argumentation ready for official submission. 4. Dual Citizenship and Heirship Research Time Jump Genealogy also supports clients pursuing legal and nationality-based research. We prepare certified dual-citizenship dossiers (e.g., Italian Jure Sanguinis, German descent applications) and heirship affidavits for probate attorneys. Our packages include international civil record retrieval, certified translations, apostille guidance, and full genealogical reports suitable for legal review. 5. Book-Ready Family Histories Every research project culminates in a tangible legacy. We produce professionally formatted family lineage books featuring narrative chapters, surname histories, heraldic illustrations, DNA cluster charts, and migration maps. Each book is designed to read like a historical biography — integrating context from wars, migrations, and local histories to bring ancestors to life on the page. 6. AI-Assisted Research and Innovation Time Jump Genealogy is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence in genealogical analysis. Through our proprietary tools such as the DNA Match Interpreter and Match Cluster Analyzer, we automate parts of the DNA interpretation process to produce detailed relationship hypotheses and PDF summaries. These innovations allow clients to understand their results faster, with clarity that combines science and storytelling.

Our Heirship Division has partnered with attorneys in multiple U.S. states, including Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and Texas, to provide professional affidavits establishing rightful heirs through genealogical evidence. We are committed to inclusivity and global heritage, tracing not only European nobility and colonial settlers but also Indigenous, African-American, Latin American, and multi-ethnic lineages with equal rigor and respect. Our Vision and Philosophy At Time Jump Genealogy, we believe that every family has a story worth preserving. Whether a client’s ancestors were medieval knights, early American pioneers, or 20th-century immigrants, each lineage carries threads of courage, resilience, and identity that shape who we are today. Our research philosophy rests on three pillars: Authenticity – Every claim must be supported by verifiable evidence and clearly cited documentation. Context – History is not just data; it’s lived experience. We frame every discovery within the social, cultural, and geographic realities of its time. Legacy – Our work is meant to endure. Reports and books are designed not only for present validation but for future generations to inherit and build upon.
