Lauryn Macdonald is a professional genealogist and owner of Lineage by Lauryn in Edmonton, Alberta. Holding a BA in History from York University (Glendon College) with a focus on Canadian history and French, she specializes in lineage verification, complex pedigree building, and archival analysis across Canada. Special interest regions include Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.
Her practice frequently assists international clients, particularly Americans navigating citizenship by descent, in compiling verification-ready portfolios of proof to support descent claims. As a fully bilingual researcher, she offers direct, non-translated analysis of both Francophone and Anglophone record sets, including parish registers, vital statistics, and regional archives.
Her practice centers on establishing verifiable portfolios of proof for lineage claims, resolving historical "brick walls," and reconstructing documented family lines. She also integrates targeted genetic genealogy when DNA evidence is required to confirm biological parentage or support traditional document trails. Lauryn is an active member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG), Ontario Ancestors (OGS), and Généalogie Québec.
