Bringing 18th Century conflict archaeology to life through cutting edge DNA science, forensic genetic genealogy, and education

DNA Science + History

The Rev War Forensic Institute of the Historic Camden Foundation is committed to leveraging DNA technology to unlock the stories and personal identities of our past

It’s almost like a mythology, the Revolution; like a story that we all agree happened, but may not feel that it was real. These gravesites made it real.

As a veteran, I’m at the end of a 250-year timeline of serving our nation. It’s my responsibility and honor to care for The Fourteen and tell their stories.

Stacey Ferguson
Director of Operations

It’s amazing to identify distant Revolutionary War ancestors via DNA. I feel very strongly that technology should be used for historical discovery.
