Code of Ethics and The Proof Standard

We take our code of ethics very seriously. We understand that you value your privacy and the privacy of your family, so we will never share your tree or our research on your family without your express written permission.

Here at Two Ravens, we adhere to the Genealogical Proof Standard, which is composed of five elements:

1. Reasonably exhaustive research has been conducted.

2. Each statement of fact has a complete and accurate source citation.

3. The evidence is reliable and has been skillfully correlated and interpreted.

4. Any contradictory evidence has been resolved.

5. The conclusion has been soundly reasoned and coherently written.

Any proof statement is subject to re-evaluation when new evidence arises. New sources are being added every day from around the world, and re-evaluating the evidence before us in light of new discoveries and new sources is a vital part of doing genealogy, and doing it well.
