As a genealogical detective, Allison Peacock has researched cases in at least 15 foreign countries and counting. Her solved cases include scores of unknown biological parent and unidentified remains cases. Other identification projects include confirming the identity of a grand niece of Daniel Boone who was long reported to be someone else, the paternity of a man born in South Carolina in 1856, the identity of an international black market adoption survivor, a dual perpetrator Midwestern homicide case, and assisting the families of two Texas murder victims with locating the couple’s missing daughter after 41 years. That case led to the innovative creation of a memorial fund to underwrite unidentified remains cases providing the opportunity for the families to turn their pain into purpose. That fund led to the creation of Genealogy For Justice™, a 501(c)3 organization with a mission to fund cold cases.
Allison is also the host of the Family History Detectives® podcast. She also serves as the Advisory Board Chairman at Genealogy For Justice™, home of the Dean and Tina Linn Clouse Memorial Fund for unidentified remains investigations. A 2022 collaboration with journalist Cristina Corbin entitled 'What About Holly?' was a Top Five true crime title on Apple Podcasts.
Team FHD is currently pioneering the use of crowdsourcing for FIGG investigations, the use of FIGG as deterrent in the trafficking of persons (TIP), and public target testing campaigns for unidentified remains cases.
She has been interviewed on the subject of genetic genealogy by every major American media network, appearing on broadcasts such as ABC's 20/20, GMA3 and CNN Tonight with Laura Coates.
