✔️Receive accurate information placed in proper historical context
✔️ Get findings delivered with cultural sensitivity (our 20+ years working with African-American & Caribbean families ensures this)

Family stories of African-American and Caribbean families are full of resilience, courage, and triumph against all odds.

Yet many of these stories remain buried in forgotten archives and oral histories, keeping us disconnected from the people, choices, and legacies that shaped our families.

This is the gap we bridge inside the Ancestor Package. We dive into historical archives, overlooked records, and oral histories to reveal the full story of your one intriguing ancestor.

You’ll receive deep analytical research, a narrative summary you can share with your family, and a compassionate review call to walk you through discoveries with care and context.

Our clients have traced long-lost family stories, celebrated ancestral achievements, and finally felt a tangible connection to their roots.

If you’re ready to finally uncover your family’s full story with clarity and pride, book your free call today to explore the Ancestor Package.

On this no-commitment call, I’ll talk you through exactly how this service can take you from curious about your past to proud of your lineage in just 8 weeks.

Honored to have received the 2025 Minnesota Genealogy Ambassador Award at the North Star Genealogy Conference.

This award recognizes work representing Minnesota's genealogy community on the national stage, something I'm really passionate about. Every time I present at conferences across the country, I make sure to feature Minnesota examples and case studies.

Stories of Black Minnesotans whose histories have been overlooked for far too long.

When I'm researching Minnesota's early African American history or working on exhibits that showcase our state's Black community stories, I'm thinking about how these narratives deserve to be heard everywhere.

For me, genealogy has always been about more than names and dates. It's about healing, repair, and restoring historical harm. It's about championing the stories that have been overlooked for too long.

This award joins my Minnesota Genealogical Society 'Pioneer Award,' and both remind me why this work matters: because every story we uncover, every connection we restore, and every ancestor we bring to light helps us understand who we are and where we're going.

Thank you to the Minnesota Genealogical Society Awards Committee and to whoever nominated me. This recognition helps me stay focused on my commitment to keep amplifying Black genealogical stories, especially from the Upper Midwest, on every stage possible.

"My mom's mom's side has always been such a mystery to us. Now I know so much more."

This is exactly what happens when you trace an entire ancestral line through the Lineage Package.

For years, this client drove through areas without knowing their family's deep connection to that land. But after tracing three generations of their maternal line, suddenly the dots connected—names had faces, places had meaning, and a mysterious side of the family tree finally came to life.

The Lineage Package doesn't just give you names and dates. It opens up entire branches of your family story that have been closed off, giving you context, connection, and clarity about who your people were and how they shaped the place you call home.

If there's a side of your family tree that feels like a mystery, we can help you unlock it. Over 8-12 weeks, we'll trace your chosen lineage across three generations, uncovering stories, locations, and legacies that have been waiting to be rediscovered.

Ready to finally understand that mysterious branch of your family tree? Book your free call today—I'll walk you through how the Lineage Package can take you from wondering about your roots to deeply connected to your heritage.

I still remember the moment.

Sitting in that dimly lit archive, carefully turning the pages of a fragile baptismal record from 1835. Records many researchers overlook. My breath caught when I saw it!

Tama Moore, born around 1805 in Virginia, listed as the mother of a child being baptized.

Her descendants had no idea she even existed.

For generations, they were stuck in 1870 with Tama's son Edward Welton. "There are no records before then," they'd been told repeatedly.

But here she was.

A previously unknown matriarch whose life traced from Virginia to Missouri, where her sons were born in the 1820s, and eventually to Nicodemus, Kansas by 1870. A woman whose existence had been completely erased from family memory.

When I shared this discovery with my client, she sat in stunned silence then the tears came. "We had no idea," she whispered. "We've been missing part of our story all this time."

This is why I do this work. Not for family trees or charts, but for these sacred moments of reclaiming what was deliberately forgotten.

Have you ever been surprised by an ancestor you didn’t know about?
⬇️ I’d love to hear if you have.
