Your family history is so much more than a genealogy chart.

I write narrative family histories grounded in genealogical evidence, family memory and historical context, to bring your family’s story to life.

Let’s read the story that time has written.

Like the growth rings in the trunk of a tree, the times and places in which your ancestors lived, their personalities and their experiences have built upon each other to create the living family entity that exists today.

Learning about your family is ultimately learning about yourself. A custom narrative history honors the memories of those who came before, not by just listing their names, but by seeing who they were.

Why create a narrative family history?

  • A meaningful personal gift: Honor parents or grandparents with a tangible record of their history, and pass down an heirloom piece that preserves the story for generations to come.

  • A companion to a reunion: Give your family a meticulously researched, beautifully written centerpiece to share, discuss and celebrate together.

  • A prelude to a heritage trip: Walk the paths your ancestors walked with a rich historical guide that is unique to your family.
