Joe's genealogical journey began in 1975 when his bride's grandmother asked him to record his personal family pedigree. He suddenly realized he knew very little about his ancestry. Now, after decades of tracing his family history through innumerable hours of research, visits to record repositories and cemeteries around the country, and participating in a myriad of both scientific and genealogy-related classes, conferences, seminars and webinars, his focus is on providing research assistance to others and sharing what he's learned. His professional career included many years as a college professor teaching a diverse spectrum of courses including genetics and molecular/microbiology. His work as a biomedical scientist included both technical training and professional experience in the legal applications of testing for genetic markers to determine paternity and family relationships. Consequently, he is uniquely qualified to both utilize and teach traditional documentary research methodology as well as the use of DNA testing to help prove a lineage or break down a brick wall.
