Emily D. Aulicino is a retired teacher and has been researching her family's genealogy for over 35 years. She has traveled nationally and internationally for that research. She administers four email lists on RootsWeb and one on Yahoo which helps genealogists and non-genealogists write their own family and personal memories. She is the Regional Coordinator and Speaker of the International Society of Genetic Genealogists (ISOGG) for the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. She manages seven DNA projects through Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) including three surname projects, one genealogical society project (financially benefitting the society) and three geographical projects, including the entire country of Ireland. She established and chairs the monthly DNA Interest Group for the Genealogical Forum of Portland. In November of 2005, she attended the FTDNA International DNA Conference in Washington DC, held at the National Geographic Headquarters in connection with their Genographic Project.
