Frank Billingsley has been a Houston, Texas Weatherman for almost 30 years. Billingsley is adopted and became curious about his birth parents. He’s written a memoir about his experiences using genetic testing and genealogical programs to piece together his family history. On this edition of Conversations, he joins us to talk about Swabbed and Found: An Adopted Man’s DNA Journey to Discover his Family Tree.
