Testimonial

"I approached Wendy of KnowMyRoots.com because my personal research had stalled. My quest was to find out about the paternal side of my roots. I am an International adoptee from South Korea. I had just taken the DNA tests through Ancestry and 23andMe and I knew it was time to enlist the help of a professional genetic genealogist."

"Wendy was receptive to my unique challenge from the very beginning. She listened carefully, asked thorough questions, and worked in a collaborative manner to keep me informed of her research - she kept impeccable notes. After narrowing down the search to a couple possible paternal lines, Wendy did an amazing job of seeking out living members of the family tree she built. She personally contacted everyone, and through her professional handling of these cold calls, we now have definitive results. Through matching DNA samples, I now know first cousins who knew my father, and can tell me stories. I couldn’t have done this without Wendy’s help, professionally and personally. "

"I highly recommend Wendy Wilson Spooner of KnowMyRoots.com for your DNA adoption problems and genetic genealogy research." --AHC.

About

Know My Roots Genetic Genealogy is dedicated to assisting adoptees and those with unknown parentage in finding biological family through traditional genealogical research and DNA testing. New opportunities for finding family are available via testing companies, which have created databases for the purpose of connecting individuals with others who share significant DNA percentages. DNA "matches" within these databases indicate close biological relationships - from parents and siblings, to 1 - 6th cousins. Numerous cases of unknown paternity and adoption have been solved through these methods.
