Are you doing research on African-American families or have lineages that are under-documented? Often, these types of investigations may require non-traditional approaches.
This month, I am honored to be featured in the “Ask the Expert” column of the DNA Angels newsletter!
DNA Angels is a non-profit organization that is aids individuals who are seeking help with identifying their biological parents. The DNA Angels team uses DNA analysis, mapping, and extensive research techniques to help solve family mysteries.
In the August 2025 newsletter issue, I share five approaches to be considered in this specific research context. It is my hope that these tactics are informative for you!
You can read the newsletter here and if you’d like to sign up to hear from DNA Angels (which I recommend that you do!), you can sign up here. I also encourage you to visit them on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
🙏 Thank you to DNA Angels for this opportunity!



Every dead end in genealogy is just a grave without a marker. Most people turn back when they hit one. The rest of us dig until the bones start talking.
