Speaker Changes at Jamboree and Genetic Genealogy 2017 Conferences

Due to the unexpected illness of a family member, Emily D. Aulicino, MA, will be unable to attend the Genetic Genealogy and Jamboree 2017 conferences. Our thoughts are with Ms. Aulicino and her family at this time.

Cheri Mello began dabbling in genealogy as a 5th grader with the U.S. History assignment. She began her active adult research 25 years ago, after the death of her remaining grandparents. Her expertise ranges from various areas of America to Portugal, as well as DNA, genealogy software and more!

Angie Bush, MS, is the Region 1 Director for the National Genealogical Society and the chair of the Genetic Genealogy Committee. Her day job is as Genetic Genealogist Researcher with Ancestry ProGenealogists in Salt Lake City. Although she spends a lot of time working on recent unknown parentage cases (adoptions, unknown fathers), her favorite type of research involves solving decades-old “brick-walls” using a combination of traditional records and genetic evidence. Angie is a Utah native and lives with her husband and two descendants in Sandy, Utah.
