Dee Dee King is a forensic genealogist, author, and publisher. She holds the ForensicGenealogistCredentialedSM credential (which is abbreviated as FGCSM) and is a Fellow of the Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy , FCAFG. She was certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists®, Washington, DC, from 2005 until March 2022, Certificate No. 903. Qualified in Texas courts as an Expert Witness.

Dee Dee King serves as the prime contractor professional genealogist for the

US Navy Casualty POW/MIA Branch from 2009-2013, with a contract renewal

in June, 2014, again in 2017, and was recently awarded a fourth contract in

June 2022.

She and her team of professional genealogists identify and locate living relatives who are eligible to contribute mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), yDNA, and autosomalDNA Family Reference Samples and family members, who by law, can direct disposition of remains as requested by the Department of the Navy for unaccounted-for Navy service members from World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, through Desert Storm. Once remains are identified, the search turns to identifying and locating the legal next of kin so that Navy may make notifications and assist the family in preparations for return and burial

with honors.

1800 Navy POW/MIA case reports, including the 10-year project to identify the remains of 380 USS Oklahoma sailors killed at Pearl Harbor.

Ms. King's clients also include attorneys, courts, estates, banks, trust divisions and companies, governmental agencies, and others in need of professional kinship determination in cases with legal implications.
