I have been interested in genealogy for as long as I can remember. I always loved hearing family stories and sitting at the kitchen table when my granny would bring out her old pictures.
I began seriously researching my family tree five years ago. As time went on I began to acquire tons of pictures, documents, and keepsakes. I realized researching was more than following the tiny green leaves to see how far back I could go. Every person was more than just a name. Every person has a
story. Every person's life mattered.
These thoughts led to a new passion. I decided to dedicate most of my time to documenting and preserving all of the STUFF that I am fortunate enough to have.
I still get excited every time I see one of those tiny green leaves, but now is the time to share the memories, the pictures, and the things that my family cherished.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
