About Paula Williams Genealogy

---

Welcome! I am a professional genealogist who has been researching for more than two decades in primarily southern US states, and has been using DNA to solve problems for more than a decade. I have studied at IGHR, SLIG, GRIP, and the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed). In addition, I'm a board member of the Virginia Genealogical Society and of the Genealogical Research Institute of Virginia (GRIVA) and am the facilitator for the latter's DNA Special Interest Group. I also serve as an administrator for Blaine Bettinger’s “Genetic Genealogy Tips & Techniques” group on Facebook, helping to answer people’s questions about DNA testing and analysis tools. I've taught at the IGHR and GRIP institutes and have lectured for the Southern California Genealogical Society's Genealogy Jamboree and for the National Genealogical Society conference, among others.
