Topic: Using DNA to Solve a Long-Buried Family Secret

When Kam discovered his biological maternal grandmother, Joyce’s father was NOT her birth father, the DNA hunt for the truth began! Kam has uncovered a long-buried secret that he discovered using the science of DNA. Joyce’s biological father was identified because of Kam’s gritty persistence. His steps to unravel the truth will inspire others interested in DNA to know the “how to” of using DNA data in their research.

Kam is a gifted 19-year-old senior at SMU in Dallas, TX. His passion for family history began at a young age, and he has built out his family tree to over 12,000 on Ancestry.com. He is an avid genealogy researcher managing DNA for 8 of his family members. Kam has traveled extensively, expanding his knowledge of culture, and family.
