I am a genealogy expert, adept at tackling intricate familial puzzles and uncovering hidden parentage through DNA analysis. Additionally, I offer services for general genealogical research inquiries. Living in the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area allows me to personally visit local libraries and repositories for more thorough investigations. My work has been recognized and published in various national and international publications. Please note that I only take on clients who have completed DNA testing through Ancestry.com or 23andMe.
