I am an emergency medicine physician assistant, but also a genealogist with over ten years experience using DNA to answer genealogical questions and support traditional research. I deeply enjoy helping others solve genealogical mysteries, such as NPEs, that were previously unsolvable due to a lack of records. I have had success solving unknown parentage cases using the following programs and methods: AncestryDNA, 23andme, MyHeritage, Family Tree DNA, Gedmatch, Shared cM project, newspapers, Been Verified, as well as a modified Leeds Method and WATO.
