ROOT + BRANCH
Documenting Our Family Legacy
"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root." - Chinese Proverb

WELCOME to my effort to turn my 25 years of ancestry work into a timeless resource for future generations.

 

Anyone who has worked on their own family's ancestry knows how thrilling it can be to connect the dots, solve mysteries and gain a better understanding of the complete lifetime picture of their ancestors.

I am publishing what I find, so that future generations don't have to put in 25 more years to find out the same information. I'd like to create a space where my future branches can easily access the information and stories I've uncovered so they can marvel at the vitality and strength of their ancestors, the same way I have.
