“We are who we are because they were who they were. It’s wise to know where you come from, who called your name.”
~Maya Angelou
Unintentional Family Historian
It’s the stories about our people that captivated me and turned me from a casual researcher and collector of information to a dedicated family historian.
Relentlessly Creative
Creative pursuits fill my tank. Adding information to a spreadsheet does not….that is, unless you add lots of color and formatting and images and make it pretty.
Lifelong Photography Enthusiast
From my first camera – a Kodak Brownie Starmite – to years as a freelance even photographer, much of my life has been invested in capturing photos that tell a story.
Memory Maker
I’ve always tried to craft memorable experiences for our kids. Now I do the same for our grandkids. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It definitely doesn’t have to be expensive. Let’s just make memories!
I’ve been capturing family memories for more than 50 years. Now I am finding “memories” from the folks who came before me – collecting, collating, and sharing the lives of our ancestors so our next generation family will have a strong sense of the heritage that makes them who they are.
