Patricia Coleman, PhD

ProGen Member Overview

A large part of my genealogical research involves analyzing DNA results and being able to assign the DNA segments to my ancestors. I search for records in the United States and in Ireland or other countries where the ancestors lived, combining this with the DNA results to complete the analysis. For my DNA Matches I build trees and trace their ancestors to find the common ancestor we share.
