Angela Bernard and Tammy White are sisters who began researching family ancestry in the late 90’s. Family members passed along a large paper, photo and family bible trail that originated long before DNA testing for ancestry gained it’s popularity. Inheriting this treasure trove of information, fueled our desire to dive further. As technology advanced, it led to DNA testing on all platforms. Through this process, we have found many mistakes along the paper trail but must give credit where credit is due to our family members who tromped around in overgrown cemeteries and dug out historical records in courthouses etc. Due to a major unexpected line appearing in our own DNA matches, we developed a passion for problem solving and triangulating DNA matches in order to determine relationships. Tammy is a Heritage Seeker.
