History
After dabbling with a consumer DNA test kit in 2014, Christina began to study the application of autosomal DNA (DNA from numbered chromosomes, as opposed to sex chromosomes) to her own family tree. It wasn't long before she was using her craft to help people find unknown family members and gain a deeper understanding of their ancestry. Confident she'd found her calling, Christina officially founded My Hoodie Project in 2015.
