165 [DNA] The Search Maven - Janet Weinreich-Keall

/

Before I recorded this show, my guest shared her notes with me and I asked, “are you SURE you want to share this publicly on my podcast? It’s a goldmine of information about DNA!” Janet Weinreich-Keall is back, and when you hear her story, you’ll know why she’s a pro at searching. She walks us through how we should prepare to search, and then we dive into what DNA testing looks like, and how far the tech has come: making it easy and accessible for us to do our own searches. We also talk about the possible ramifications of having your DNA in a database - is your information really kept private?

Show Notes

  • Be in charge of your own search. You want to have the power in your own hands: decide when/if to make contact, how you word your messages and letters, what information you share. You can do this.
