I was the first adoptee to discover my birth family through genetic genealogy DNA testing. Having searched for more than 25 years, I shared my story in my book, "Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA.” See findingfamilybook.com.

I became an avid genetic genealogist and decided to further share what I learned. I have a website https://www.dnafavorites.com/ and I give presentations on genetic genealogy topics to libraries and genealogy groups, both nationally and locally.
