Accessibility Statement – v1.3
Last updated: August 2026
Our Approach to Accessibility
Friar Genealogical Research, LLC is committed to facilitating the digital accessibility and usability of our website for the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. Rather than treating compliance as a static benchmark, we view accessibility as an ongoing process of optimization. In designing and evaluating our digital presence, we utilize the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our reference framework to continually inform our layout choices, readability, and user experience updates.
Evolving Efforts & Specialized Data Disclosures
We recognize that digital accessibility is a continuous process rather than a static benchmark. Because our website content undergoes periodic updates and shifts over time, some features, legacy record links, or historical archive uploads may require ongoing review, manual improvement, or adaptation. We regularly review our platform internally to identify and address potential usability constraints.
- Complex Visual Analytics Disclaimer: Our specialized forensic and genealogical research naturally involves highly complex visual graphics, kinship charts, DNA match diagrams, and pedigree matrices. We recognize that these specialized, inherently visual formats may present unique usability constraints for some visitors.
- Alternative Plain-Text Formats: Friar Research is fully committed to providing alternative plain-text descriptions, customized data summaries, or direct verbal consultations upon request to ensure our underlying research findings are fully communicated and accessible to anyone requiring accommodation.
Assistance and Feedback
If you experience any difficulty accessing content on our website, encounter a technical barrier, or require an alternative format to review our public compliance resources, please contact us directly at Hello@friarresearch.com. Phone (203) 806-5226
To help us assist you effectively, please specify the web page or document you are attempting to access, along with the nature of the issue. We review incoming accessibility inquiries during our regular business hours and make every commercially practical effort to deliver actionable accommodations, alternative text formats, or direct verbal consultations in a timely manner.
Third-Party Content Disclaimer
While we strive to ensure all core content controlled by Friar Genealogical Research, LLC is accessible, our website may utilize third-party plugins, widgets, or external repositories (such as mapping software, payment processors, or embedded media players) to enhance functionality. We continuously monitor these integrations, but we cannot dictate or control the underlying source code of third-party vendors.
