“Finding Your Family with DNA Testing” – By Richard Hill
Presentation:
Learn how adoptees and others find biological parents and siblings through DNA testing. Review the case that started it all and see today’s recommended strategies. View examples of surprise discoveries and see the tools used to identify relationships.
Speaker:
Richard Hill was the first adoptee to identify his birth family through DNA tests for genetic genealogy. He shared the story of his decades-long search in an award-winning book, “Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA.” His Kindle Short Book, “Guide to DNA Testing,” provides readers with just enough information to choose the proper DNA tests for their needs. He has founded two websites on DNA testing, most recently DNAFavorites.com.
Richard gives presentations on genetic genealogy topics both virtually and in person. He is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild. He lives in Michigan with his wife of 57 years and two cats.
This is a Zoom only meeting.
