The Story
Every Genealogical Journey begins with a story. My family lineage journey began with a friend who had some amazing talents as a family researcher and most of all, he enjoyed passing on his findings. He was a dear friend whose greatest gift to me came in the shape of an extensive pedigree chart.
With that, I began what has become a multi-year adventure of uncovering our family history. I recall the excitement of every new discovery. One branch led to another and before I realized it, the family puzzle went back 13-plus generations. The turning of a page introduced us to a new challenge and eventually presented us with a new chapter in our family history story. I would also argue that our family history journey not only allowed us to gain a keen understanding of where we came from, but we also developed a sense of great respect for the journey, travails and yes, even the intrigues of those who came before us.
Part of this new venture is dedicated to him. It is my way of continuing his work.
If you would like to have us work with you in your journey in discovering your family history, we would be honored to collaborate with you. Contact us so that we can discuss your family research goals.
