Guest Speaker
Colleen F. Fitzpatrick
“Experience as a writer of Forensic Genealogy –
A modern approach to family research.”
Colleen F. Fitzpatrick, PhD, is a Forensic Genealogist who has been recognized for her work with the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory on identifying the remains found in the Alaskan crash of Northwest Flight 4422.
Retired from the optical industry in 2005, she now assists nonprofits, military organizations, and the FBI with forensic identification, and has been instrumental in exposing two high profile Holocaust literary frauds.
As a world traveler and multi-lingual, Colleen specializes in international cases.
Her first book Forensic Genealogy has become a classic- a must-have for professional and casual genealogists alike. She is also the co-author of DNA & Genealogy and the author of The Dead Horse Investigation: Forensic Photo Analysis for Everyone.
She writes feature articles for GAMES Magazine and for all major genealogy magazines. Her article on Flight 4422 will be published in Scientific American in late 2011.
