My Process
I start with comprehensive DNA match analysis and genetic genealogy research, then integrate findings with traditional records across all major genealogy platforms. I analyze DNA matches to identify potential family connections and validate relationships, integrating traditional records with genetic evidence to solve family mysteries and confirm genealogical findings. I then research the historical context of the time period and location before creating a detailed genealogical report with full citations. From there, I create family-friendly narratives that transform research findings into meaningful stories.
