WILDE DNA Specializes In...
Using DNA testing and family history research to find biological family members, from unknown birth parents to distant ancestors
FINDING BIRTH PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS
Alison helps adoptees and those looking for close biological family members. She has years of experience working on DNA tests taken at Ancestry, 23 and Me, My Heritage and Family Tree DNA. She utilizes the best of all available techniques and third party tools including her own variations of the Leeds method, and WATO (the What are the Odds tool at DNA Painter). She is tenacious in identifying DNA matches and figuring out how they fit into each genetic network.
DEAD END OR "BRICK WALL" GENEALOGY LINES
Some gaps in a family tree will never be able to be filled in without combining traditional genealogy with DNA testing and genetic genealogy analysis.
Alison works to find DNA match patterns (clusters, groups and/or genetic networks) that can provide the information needed to break through these brick wall lines.
MENTORING AND
COACHING
Alison frequently helps aspiring genetic genealogists and family history researchers. In addition, many people new to genealogy and DNA testing want to be involved in finding their family members. Alison patiently assists in outlining a plan and guiding people through the steps to solve their own family mystery. Most often this is done via online screen sharing sessions, but arrangements can be made for in person assistance as necessary. Alison also has an online video series available to help people learn about DNA testing and how to utilize test results to solve specific problems.

Her DNA hobby soon turned into an obsession, and then a second career. In 2014, she began using DNA testing to help adoptees, people searching for ancestors, and those with misattributed parentage.
Alison is a member of the National Genealogical Society, the Utah Genealogical Association the Association of Professional Genealogists. During her spare time she serves as a genetic genealogy mentor, a Search Angel volunteer, and teaches family history and genetic genealogy classes at her local family history center.

Here's What People Are Saying...
testimonial #1
Wow! Alison Wilde was a lifesaver in helping us not only find and verify my adopted mother’s biological parents, but also helping us fill in blank spots in my genealogy that I thought we were never going to be able to continue the lineage on. I had no idea that this was all possible through DNA genetic genealogy until I found Alison and got this help. Alison says she loves puzzles and genealogy is definitely a puzzle. Her expertise, resourcefulness, patience, and personable approach can’t be beat. If you want the best, Alison can help you in your ancestral quest! What a blessing!
testimonial #2
Through Alison’s work we found that my mother had a full sibling who was still alive, had also been adopted, and had adoption papers listing his birth mother. We were able to confirm that the birth mother he thought was his for years, prior to DNA testing, was not actually the real birth mother. They had had the right name, but the wrong person. DNA testing doesn’t lie and we were able to find the real genetic birth mother and the match was then verified by the adoption papers. The birth father was then not only identified by DNA matches, but also verified through the Y-DNA testing that Alison recommended.
testimonial #3
Alison showed us how a DNA test can be used to answer adoption and biological questions in order to help find missing ancestors in your lineage and link you to your biological family if you were adopted. Alison is a quick study as she looks for patterns. She has a wealth of knowledge about the available resource websites and she remembers your family tree names and relationships so well as she works with you. She has a wide range of tools and skills that she successfully uses. She loves the stories and people she researches like we do and they become extended family to her along the way. It has been great celebrating these breakthroughs together.
Featured Testimonial
My sister had done a DNA test to confirm our ethnicity, but to our surprise it came back with 12% German. My mother was adopted, and we had never explored her birth lineage, until now. The DNA testing results showed we had a 1st cousin so we contacted her immediately. Alison was able to use the DNA from us and this 1st cousin to locate and confirm my mother’s biological family.
