CeCe Moore is an internationally recognized DNA and true crime expert and an Emmy-nominated creator whose frequent media appearances have led to her being called “the face of genetic genealogy.”
Through collaboration with hundreds of investigative agencies across North America, she has led the Parabon Genetic Genealogy Team to the unparalleled record of over 375 successful identifications of violent criminal suspects and unidentified decedents since 2018. CeCe’s cutting-edge work with law enforcement has led to the first conviction, the first conviction through jury verdict, the first conviction in an active violent case investigation, and the first exoneration in cases where the suspect was identified through IGG.
Fifteen years ago, CeCe began developing and teaching the now widely used unknown parentage genetic genealogy techniques that have become foundational and central aspects of the IGG field. In 2013, she founded the DNA Detectives, which has grown to be the largest genetic genealogy educational online community (~250,000 members), and co-founded the Institute for Genetic Genealogy.
For thirteen seasons, CeCe has served as the genetic genealogy expert, trusted with analyzing the DNA of hundreds of high-profile guests for the PBS documentary television series Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Profiled by the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine and the UK Sunday Times, CeCe’s groundbreaking work and expertise has been featured widely in thousands of articles and television shows throughout the world, promoting public awareness and support of investigative genetic genealogy as a powerful tool with positive societal impact.
