This is how it all started…
My journey began with a letter my paternal grandmother wrote about our family history. I lost her and my father when I was young, so that letter felt like a lifeline to questions I had about our shared history that I would never be able to ask them. I spent many years teaching myself how to research our roots before deciding to take it to the next level. I have since received my Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University and become involved in my local genealogical community. I cannot describe how much these things have improved my own research and now I’m excited to help others discover their family stories as well!
