I'm Mooraka and I'm back with season three of my podcast, Mo Pituaries.

I'm looking forward to introducing you to more of my favorite people and things.

All of them dead.

From a top dog in 1990's television, to a former top banana.

In the world up to 1960 when the Gromachelle was the only banana that we got, they were

clearly better.

Listen to Moor Pituaries wherever you get your podcasts.

I really like to solve puzzles and genealogy kind of is like that.

It offers you this endless stream of blanks to fill in.

My name's Chelsea Rustad and in 2013 I began my search for my own family history.

And it took me down lots of unexpected paths along the way.

In 2015, I saw on Ancestry's Facebook page they were running a contest and two winners

would receive an Ancestry DNA Kit.

They contacted me and said, Chelsea, you're one of the winners.

The Ancestry DNA Kit arrived, you just kind of spit in a tube and seal it up and then

it was on its way.

Did you have any idea just what kind of story your DNA would tell?

I really didn't.

I was a genealogy hobbyist like millions of other people in the United States.

I kind of accidentally fell into it.

I'm CC Moor and I'm an investigative genetic genealogist and that means I used DNA to try

to help law enforcement find violent criminals.
