An Ireland to America Adoption Story of Family Reunification

Everything changed for Joyce Parker in 2019 as a long dormant curiosity about her origins was sparked by a simple Ancestry DNA result. Joyce will share her beginnings in Ireland and her journey to finding her biological family. She went from being raised in a very small Irish American family to being a member of a huge Irish clan that even includes the Archbishop of Northern Ireland! Photographs, videos, log entries and certificates will document the journey. Not all ancestral journeys end well, but Joyce has been blessed with a very welcoming Irish family.
