Emily D. Aulicino is a retired teacher and has been researching her family's genealogy for nearly 40 years. She has traveled nationally and internationally for that research. She administers five email lists on RootsWeb and four on Yahoo, one of 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 eleven DNA projects through Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) including six surname projects, two genealogical society project (financially benefiting 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.
