THE HUMBLE AREA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY (THAGS)

Richard Hill was the first adoptee to identify his birth family through genetic genealogy DNA tests. He shared 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 right DNA tests for their purposes. He has founded two websites on DNA testing, most recently DNAFavorites.com. Richard gives presentations on genetic genealogy topics both virtually and in person. He is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. He lives in Michigan with his wife of 58 years and two cats.
