Every family has stories waiting to be discovered — in courthouse ledgers, census schedules, dusty land deeds, and probate files. Researching family history isn’t just about names and dates; it’s about understanding the lives, struggles, and triumphs of those who came before us.

This month, I encourage you to take one step toward uncovering your family’s past:
📖 Ask an older relative about their memories.
📜 Dig into a record you’ve never explored before.
🌳 Start building (or updating) your family tree.

If you’d like guidance, I’m here to help — whether through presentations, coaching, or professional research services.

👉 Let’s celebrate Family History Month together by giving voice to the generations that made us who we are.
