🎤 About the Speaker:

Richard Hill was the first adoptee to identify his birth family through genetic genealogy DNA tests, sharing the story of his decades-long search in an award-winning book, “Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA.” His Kindle Short Book, “Guide to DNA Testing,” gives readers just enough information to choose the proper DNA tests for their purposes. He has founded two websites on DNA testing, most recently DNAFavorites.com. He is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the International Society of Genetic Genealogy.
