Welcome!

This semester, I had the opportunity to take a genealogy course at Villanova University. We used genetic and traditional genealogy methods to investigate our ancestry and construct family trees. 

​

With my Asian roots, this proved to be quite the challenge! 

As we say in the genealogy world, I hit many "brick walls" in my research, but as a result I investigated why genealogical research is so difficult for people with Asian heritage in the United States.
