About the Forensic Genealogist: Adrianne McQuillan
Adrianne has had a life-long passion for family history so it was only natural to channel her experience in research and story-telling into a career in genealogy. When her own children were young, unraveling genealogical challenges and gaining more genealogical training were her intellectual outlets. She thrives off being able to uncover and share the life events of ancestors and identifying modern day relatives for her clients in an organized product.
Adrianne's personal ancestors have led her to research all over the Eastern United States, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Panama. Researching for clients has continued to broaden her geographic research experience where new adventures always await.
Adrianne has extensive experience working with genealogy DNA results and has helped numerous adoptees and donor-conceived individuals identify biological parents or family members.
Adrianne is bilingual (English and Spanish) having spent most of her summers with family in Latin America. She received two bachelor's degrees from Virginia Tech, a master's degree from American University, and additional coursework through several other universities.
She is a member of several genealogical societies and a card holder for libraries all over the United States, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress. Her never-ending thirst for information keeps her endlessly motivated to provide the most complete and accurate research product she can for her clients.
