DNA connects family, and it affects health. Genealogists are ordering DNA tests for ancestry studies, and questions about medical topics naturally arise. What tests can I order, and what type of information will it give me? What do I do if I discover an unexpected relative when I test? Can I take the data I get back and learn anything “medical” from it? Answering these questions is my specialty.

I’m Brianne Kirkpatrick, and through my private practice, Watershed DNA, I provide consultations about DNA testing for genealogy and for health. As a licensed and certified genetic counselor by profession and a genealogist by hobby, my joy is offering compassionate expertise to clients with questions, whether they have already ordered a DNA test or are just beginning to consider it.

Stop by booth 333 at NGS to learn more about how my services can benefit you. I’ll have a sign-up sheet for a limited number of 15-minute complimentary consultations during the NGS conference and information sheets to take away with you. Visit www.WatershedDNA.com for more information.
