Brief Bio of Presenter, Eric Migdal:
I am a 13 year resident of Pompton Lakes NJ, I am happily married with a son, a daughter and a bonus son. I have been doing family history research for 30 years, assisting clients with family tree building, DNA test analysis, safely and effectively contacting unknown family members.
As an adoptee, I spent many years searching for my biological family with very few results. My starting information was wrong and the assumptions I made were also incorrect, I did DNA testing to assist me with finding the truth about my family and it ultimately led me to the correct family.
