Diahan Southard

Diahan Southard knows firsthand what a difference it can make to know where you came from. What started off as an educational and career interest in genetic genealogy became deeply personal when she used DNA to discover her mom’s birth parents and connect with new relatives. Now she has 20+ years of genetic genealogy experience. She built her company, Your DNA Guide, to show that learning DNA doesn’t have to be intimidating, frustrating, or require a college degree in biology. Her goal is to teach you to "Do the DNA"--and feel confident and have fun in the process! Diahan teaches internationally, writes for popular magazines, authored Your DNA Guide--The Book, and produces Your DNA Guide--the Academy, an online learning experience.
