I am an Accredited Genealogist® professional and I am passionate about helping people learn more about how to participate in genealogy because I believe  family history is for everyone! Whatever your age or stage in life, there is a place for you. In fact, you are already participating in creating family history even if you don't realize it. Things like family traditions, family stories, and family photos are all a part of the broad world of genealogy and family history. 

But did you know that learning more about your family's history is a practice that will benefit you and your loved ones? Research has shown that those who know their family narrative--who their ancestors were, traits and characteristics that have been handed down, and stories of experiencing joy and overcoming hardship--are more resilient and have more self-esteem than those who don't.[1] Knowing your family narrative creates a sense of belonging to something greater than yourself that is good for your well-being.
