🌳 Happy National Roots Day! 🌳

Every family has a story worth remembering. Today we celebrate the generations who came before us—their journeys, sacrifices, and the roots they planted that shape who we are today.

At Legacy Lane Genealogy, we’re honored to help families uncover their past, preserve their history, and turn names and dates into meaningful stories that can be passed down for generations to come.

💬 We’d love to hear from you! Share something about your roots in the comments below—a family tradition, an ancestor you admire, or where your family came from.

Your roots matter. Your story matters. 🤍

Happy All Souls’ Day! 🕯️

Today I’m remembering the best grandmas I could’ve asked for…
In their honor I made my grandma Lois’s chocolate chip cookies and listened to a song from the Anne of Green Gables series that me and my grandma Janet loved.

Who are you remembering today and how did you memorialize them? Let us know below!

🌾🎭 New Episode Alert! Lanesboro’s Link to the Wild West is now live on Roots & Riddles!

Before Buffalo Bill took the stage, before the frontier was folklore, Lanesboro had its own legend: Dr. Frank Powell—better known as White Beaver. He was a physician, a showman, and a Wild West scout whose life blurred the line between medicine and myth.

In this episode, we dig into Powell’s double life—from healing patients in Bluff Country to performing alongside Buffalo Bill. It’s a story of drama, grit, and one unforgettable character who made Lanesboro part of the Wild West tapestry.
