Experience
Since 2019, I have taken on clients with families with roots in New York. As a volunteer with an organization, I help adoptees locate their birth families using genetic genealogy and traditional research techniques.
At this time I have decided to focus my efforts on researching my own family and writing stories for my blog.
Although I have decided not to open my own business, I am open to employment opportunities.
