Patty Campanelli is a professional genealogist who has been working with genealogy for over twenty-two years. She became interested in genealogy after her father passed away in 2000 leaving her with a goal of connecting her roots to a patriot to join the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). She joined the DAR in 2004 and in 2007 she became her chapter’s registrar and started helping others research and source their lineage to their patriots. In 2017, she solved her first two DNA cases, an adoptee and an NPE (not parent expected). She has solved many cases since then. She loves making the pieces of the past fit together.
Patty founded Relatives and Roots in 2022 to help people find the answers to the questions that they have. Who are my biological parents? Who are my dad’s biological parents? Why doesn’t my DNA match my relatives? How can I find that source if I can not get to New Jersey? How far back in America do my roots go?
