About Roots Reclaimed Genetic Genealogy
At Roots Reclaimed Genetic Genealogy, every case begins with a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves to know where they come from.
I’m Angela Hermes, founder and lead genetic genealogist. For more than a decade, I’ve helped individuals and families uncover the truth hidden within their DNA. With hundreds of successfully resolved cases, I specialize in working with adoptees and individuals with unknown parentage—people searching not just for names, but for identity, connection, and answers.
Genetic genealogy is more than a science; it’s a deeply human process. Each case represents a unique story, often shaped by loss, secrecy, or unanswered questions. My role is to combine advanced DNA analysis with traditional genealogical research to bring clarity where there has been uncertainty for years—sometimes a lifetime.
I work with clients across the United States, guiding them through each step of the journey with professionalism, discretion, and respect. Whether you’re seeking biological parents, confirming family relationships, or building a family tree from limited information, I approach every case with care and determination.
At Roots Reclaimed, you’re not just another case file. Your story matters. Your search matters. And I am committed to helping you reclaim your roots.
What You Can Expect
Finding answers can be life-changing. If you’re ready to begin your journey, I’m here to help you take that first step.
