I Am A Leaf Following Branches to Find My Tree Barbara Shoff

Award-winning author Barbara Shoff is passionate about writing, genealogy, solving puzzles, saving money, and sharing what she's learned. She was moved by the number of adoptees and their families who attended classes she taught at her local library. Barbara decided to share her process that doesn't rely on costly annual subscriptions, much like a recipe anyone can follow. She calls her method The Triple Whammy. The main ingredients: data from your autosomal DNA testing company, uploaded to the free online tool site GEDmatch, mixed in with WikiTree, a free single-entry, one-world tree. The results: Your family. While her book, I Am A Leaf targets the needs of people who were adopted, anybody who is searching their roots can use it. Never before has the understanding of the unity of the world been so closely within our grasp. The analysis of the human genome turned our focus to genetics. Trailblazing genealogists like entrepreneur Bennett Greenspan took notice and applied the new discoveries about DNA to genealogy, thus uniting science and history. DNA does not lie. The author says, "The eBook is cheaper! This book was written to be used in conjunction with the FREE Amazon Kindle reader so you can follow along as you "work the process." If you insist on a physical book you can lay next to your keyboard as you work the process this book is for you. Check to see if Amazon has a package deal that will save you money."
