Adoption, DNA & Biological Family Research

Discovering your biological roots through DNA, genealogy and historical research.


Whether you were adopted, are searching for an unknown biological parent, or have discovered an unexpected DNA connection, I combine professional genealogical research with DNA analysis to investigate family relationships and help you understand your biological ancestry.

Understanding Your Biological Family


DNA testing has transformed our ability to explore previously unknown family relationships. By combining DNA evidence with traditional genealogy, we can identify common ancestors, reconstruct family histories, and investigate possible biological connections.

Every case is different. Some produce clear answers relatively quickly, while others require more extensive research or can remain unresolved because of gaps in the available evidence.
