Hi Stephanie. Welcome to WikiTree. I'm glad you joined the community and hope you like it. Good luck finding that connection for your father's side. I've been amazed at some of the connections made through my own AncestryDNA and 23andMe tests.
Thank you for volunteering to help grow our World Wide Family Tree.

I'd like to to volunteer to help grow the shared tree. I agree with the mission and plan to abide by the nine simple rules to maintain a positive and enjoyable community with productive collaboration. My name is Stephanie Burns and I am 43 years old. I am an Assistant Professor of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology at Western Michigan University (http://wmich.edu/cecp/directory/burns). Here is my LinkedIn Profile (www.linkedin.com/pub/stephanie-burns-ph-d/17/b20/99a/) I recently completed the Ancesty.com DNA test hoping to find a living relative on my father's side.
