Living in the Know: The Adoptee's Quick-Start Guide to Finding Family with DNA Testing is a book about the importance of knowing the truth of one's origins and solving cases of unknown parentage with DNA Testing.
Part memoir, part quick-start guide, Geraldine Berger, The Genetic Genealogy Coach, shares her own journey to living in the know. The search for her birth parents spanned a cumulative thirty-four years, due to sealed records, aliases and other erroneous information. Berger tells you which DNA tests to use and how to navigate websites like Ancestry.com. She guides you step-by-step through the Berger Method, the proven strategy she has used to solve hundreds of cases of unknown parentage and other family tree mysteries.
Berger's compelling personal story- and those of twelve others whom she has reunited with members of their biological families- make a powerful argument for discovering the truth of one's origins. Are you ready to live in the know?
