I am a professional genealogist with over 25 years experience in traditional documentary methods and over 5 years experience in genetic genealogy. I hold a Graduate Certificate in Forensic Genetic Genealogy from the University of New Haven. I specialize in DNA analysis and interpretation, solving complex family history brick wall problems using documentary and genetic genealogy. In the last 5 years, I have solved unknown parentage cases, proven eligibility to lineage societies using DNA and untangled same-name ancestors. I enjoy teaching, coaching and consulting. I am dedicated to providing clients with accurate, substantiated and thorough research. I am available for cases using Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy.
