I have been researching my Puerto Rican roots since 2004, using DNA for genetic genealogy since 2010, and blogging since 2011. My research mainly revolves around various towns in Puerto Rico, the French territorial islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, and various towns in Spain (specifically in Andalusia and Mallorca). My research has also taken me into other parts of the English, French, and Spanish Caribbean as well as South America and Europe. 

As a professional genealogist, my goal is to help others connect and learn more about their ancestors. Exploring my own roots has allowed me to learn more about my cultural background and the movement of my ancestors. Through my research, I hope to provide similar knowledge for others as well.
