Continuing Record-Breaking Efforts
The Rev War Forensic Institute (RWFI) arose in 2025 as a part of the groundbreaking work to identify THE FOURTEEN – men who were killed in action at the Battle of Camden, and whose remains were endangered by erosion and relic hunting activities. After reburial with military honors, we successfully extracted their DNA for genetic genealogy.
America’s first veterans inspired us to develop a long term vision for learning all we can from this investigation of a lifetime, and sharing it with others. RWFI was the result of that vision.
