Listen Later

Considering searching? Scared of rejection? Confused about the next step? Adoptee and Genetic Genealogist Gerri shares what she's learned riding her own emotional rollercoaster and helping 300 other adoptees do the same. It's insightful, powerful and empowering.

Geraldine Berger, known as "The Genetic Genealogy Coach," is a professional genetic genealogist and author, specializing in helping adult adoptees and others with unknown parentage to identify and locate their birth parents, and other long-lost family members, via DNA testing.  In addition, she accepts traditional family tree research projects, breaking though brick walls, using DNA evidence. 

An adoptee herself, "Gerri" has cracked hundreds of cases of unknown parentage and other family tree mysteries, including her own, and her successes have appeared in news outlets worldwide.  She is also an experienced intermediary between adoptees and their biological family members.  

Gerri is the author of  "Living In The Know: The Adoptee’s Quick Start Guide to Finding Family with DNA Testing,” a book about the importance of knowing the truth of your origins and solving cases of unknown parentage using DNA testing, released May 2021 (Amazon, Kindle, Nook, bookstores, libraries).  As an adoptee rights activist, she is contributing author to various other media.

A dynamic public speaker, Gerri lectures on the topic of genetic genealogy at historical and genealogical societies, libraries and other organizations.  She earned a certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University and has a Master’s degree in Psychology, from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
