Zoom Talk with Donna Rutherford : The Genetic Detective

Learn how to build targeted family trees to solve mysteries in your DNA matches, especially useful for unknown parentage cases and puzzling connections.

Writer and speaker Donna Rutherford is a London-based, New Zealand-born, genetic genealogist, with ancestral links to the British Isles and early settlers in New Zealand.

She is well-known through her talks via the Society of Genealogists and Family Tree Magazines online programme. Donna’s blogs and Youtubes are invaluable guides for understanding DNA research. She says, ‘Making DNA complex topics easy to understand is something I am very passionate about’.

Donna specialises in unknown parentage cases.
