From DNA to living family

Gary’s Journey Went Beyond an Ancestry Report

Tribal Tapestry traced Gary Frazier’s ancestry to the Igbo community and connected him with a living Nigerian family separated from his branch of the family for generations.

Gary later traveled to Nigeria, where he was welcomed by family and community and experienced what it means to move from ancestry discovery to living connection.

Gary is a CSU Dominguez Hills alumnus. His story demonstrates what can become possible when ancestry insight is connected to careful research, people, and place.
