How your report is handled

A person and a case are kept separate — several reports can describe the same person.
Your relationship is recorded as a request for access, decided by a coordinator.
Any second report by another family member is reconciled, not silently overwritten.
FamilyConnect cannot confirm identity or death. Those remain with the authorities.

DNA identification

Where remains were buried before identification, a close relative's DNA reference sample can still provide an answer. You can apply for a sample kit and track it without an account.
