      Where Science Meets Story<\/h3>\n
      \n\t
      Whatever you learned in history classes at school, you didn't get to see the whole picture. How much do you know about the lives of your ancestors and where they fit into history?\u00a0We're living in an era when DNA testing, digitization of records, and power of social networks enable us to understand a much more nuanced and complex version of history. We each occupy a unique spot in this tapestry, and I'd like to help you learn more about yours.<\/div>\n
      \u00a0<\/div>\n
      I specialize in genetic genealogy, using DNA data to explore family connections and integrating results of cutting-edge science with thorough research in the paper trail. Genetic genealogy is a fast-moving field. New tests, new tools, and ever-growing databases mean that we can now solve mysteries in ways that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. DNA can help reunite long-lost relatives, fill in gaps where historical records have been destroyed or were never created, and shift our ideas of identity and connection.<\/div>\n
      \u00a0<\/div>\n
      I invite you to join me in exploring the territory where science meets story and history gets personal.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
