Who Is That Mystery DNA Match?: Solving a Genetic Genealogy Brick Wall
I know all my close relatives! Who is this person? By incorporating various resources used in conjunction with one another, along with photographs, public records, Google, social media, locations, etc., learn an entire methodology to attacking your mystery DNA matches. Yes, you can figure out who that DNA mystery match is!
Diane Henriks, also known as the Descendant Detective and founder of Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family, is a passionate and seasoned Los Angeles County-based professional genealogist, investigator, speaker, and author who specializes in descendancy and brick wall research, along with living people search and unknown parentage. Diane has worked closely with private investigators to find living people while also assisting in background investigations, in both civil and criminal cases. She is a proud member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, the Southern California Genealogical Society, and the Utah Genealogical Association. What started out as a small hobby well over a decade ago, when a hand-drawn family tree chart was given to her by her father, has since become a great obsession, and she now helps others discover and preserve who they are and where they come from!
