I have a passion for history and believe that every person, family, and community has fascinating stories waiting to be told... stories that will go unheard tomorrow unless they are saved today.
My interest in personal history began when charting my own family genealogy. I could discover facts but wanted to know more about the people themselves - their thoughts and stories. One day I discovered a journal that my great-grandmother kept during a period of convalescence. What a joy to read her words and gain insight to the woman I only knew through a black and white photo.
I love to dive into the past. I have found useful tips and resources along the way, particularly as a member of the Association of Personal Historians.
