Genetic Genealogy: The Story Behind Genetic Roots Research

Welcome to Genetic Roots Research, where science meets story. I’m Brigette, and I’ve spent the last 15 years helping people unlock their past through genetic genealogy — the powerful intersection of DNA testing and traditional family tree research.

A Journey Rooted in Genetic Genealogy

My passion for family history started long before DNA kits were household items. From whispered stories to handwritten records, I was always intrigued by the gaps in my own family tree—and later, my husband’s. But it was genetic genealogy that transformed my curiosity into discovery.

Through DNA testing, I helped uncover missing links, solve family mysteries, and reconnect people with lost relatives. What began as a hobby quickly became a calling, and now, with Genetic Roots Research, I get to share that calling with a wider audience.

What Is Genetic Genealogy?

Genetic genealogy combines the science of DNA analysis with traditional genealogy research. By analyzing your autosomal DNA, Y-DNA, or mitochondrial DNA, you can:

• Identify unknown ancestors

• Confirm family relationships

• Trace ancestral migration patterns

• Connect with biological relatives

It’s a method rooted in science, but powered by human connection.

Did you know? Over 38 million people have taken consumer DNA tests, fueling the rise of genetic genealogy as a key tool in modern family history research.
