Geneavlogger

Jarrett Ross, also known as the GeneaVlogger, began seriously researching his own family history in 2009 while finishing his undergraduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh. Since then he has successfully connected with thousands of relatives all over the World, helped build hundreds of trees for people of varying ancestral backgrounds, and has worked on hundreds of genealogical projects of varying types. Jarrett has found a specialty in Genetic Genealogy and Sephardic Jewish research with an emphasis on the Portuguese Jewish Community of Amsterdam. Jarrett's other main focuses of research are in Jewish Agricultural Societies of Southern New Jersey, Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in the Pale of Settlement, Jews in America, and Jews in Ukraine. Along with his areas of focus, Jarrett also has extensive experience with research in a variety of ancestral backgrounds from all over the World, including an array of experience in genetic genealogy. Jarrett spent just under 5 years working as the Lead Forensic Genealogist at DNA Labs International, helping create investigative leads to identify unknown human remains and perpetrators of violent crimes. In October 2023, Jarrett left the Forensic industry to pursue a content creation and genealogy education full-time. Jarrett currently runs two youtube channels - GeneaVlogger, which focuses on genealogy research stories and discussion; and Professional Genealogist Reacts, where Jarrett reacts to DNA test videos and answers questions posted on the GeneaVlogger subreddit. Jarrett also writes blog posts from time to time on his blog called "Sephardic Genealogy", which focuses on mostly on Sephardic genealogy research. Jarrett also does genealogy presentations about a variety of topics, mostly focusing around genetic genealogy and Jewish genealogy.
