I know your father's very excited to meet you.

This was a different way of applying the science. It's not taught in schools. There's no degree you can get in genetic genealogy. There's no certification. You had to think outside the box, and perhaps you needed some creativity, and I came from a creative background.

There were some bioethicists and legal experts that I expected to be against this. And I was very surprised after the Golden State Killer arrest that they were completely supportive.

I feel a real affinity to her. And so I'm thinking about her a lot and really keeping her right where I can see her. So I'm always inspired to work hard on these, but I think it'll make me work even harder if that's possible.

I built back to great-grandparents for each of those second cousins, and then I started building forward. I flipped that tree upside down, do what I call reverse genealogy. I'm building forward in time, trying to find the right person in the right place with the right ancestral mix to be the subject.
