Join Tracie Boyle for an inside look at how DNA is helping identify unknown individuals and generate investigative leads in violent crimes. This presentation will walk you through the investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) process, highlight some of the offerings at the Ramapo College IGG Center, and share real-world case examples of how this work is making an impact.

Tracie Boyle is an Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist (AIGG) and the Case Manager at the Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center in New Jersey. She began working with DNA in 2012 while researching her paternal grandfather’s family and quickly fell down the rabbit hole. In 2018, she expanded her focus to include investigative work and has since helped solve numerous family mysteries and provided critical leads in cases involving unidentified human remains and violent crimes.

Tracie is also the co-founder of Coast to Coast Genetic Genealogy Services and a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, National Genealogical Society, Virtual Genealogical Association, Genealogical Society of Bergen County, and Genealogical Society of New Jersey.
