Eric Migdal is a 9 year resident of Pompton Lakes NJ, He is happily married with a son, a daughter and a bonus son. He has been doing family history research for over 26 years, assisting clients with family tree building, DNA test analysis, safely and effectively contacting unknown family members.

As an adoptee, He spent many years searching for his biological family with very few results. His starting information was wrong and the assumptions he made were also incorrect, He did DNA testing to assist him with finding the truth and it ultimately lead him to the correct family.
