KinSift, the family-tree trust audit
KinSift checks a GEDCOM family tree against the five-part Genealogical Proof Standard and identifies what needs strengthening.
Field notes
KinSift takes a GEDCOM export and evaluates it against five parts of the Genealogical Proof Standard, producing category scores and concrete gaps rather than a single opaque grade. Its sample audit covers a 4,218-person tree, finds 35 gaps, and flags 14 people without birth-event citations. The site states that files are processed in memory, deleted after scanning, and not used to train AI models; the wording around Project Scan suggests the full workflow may still be opening.
