Diane Henriks

Diane Henriks, the “Descendant Detective” and Founder of Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family, is a Los Angeles County-based professional genealogist, investigator, speaker, and author, specializing in descendancy and brick wall research, unknown parentage cases, and living people search. She has worked closely with private investigators to find living people, while also assisting in background investigations, in both civil and criminal cases. She is a proud member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and the Southern California Genealogical Society. What started out as a small hobby over a decade ago, when a hand drawn family tree chart was given to her by her father, has since become a great obsession! She now helps others journey through their family histories and/or locate missing pieces, while stressing the importance of preserving family history for future generations and trying to get them all involved in their own family history. Family history isn’t just genealogy; it’s about connecting your past, present, and future, to give you a sense of who you are, while carrying on the memory of those that came before.
