Growing up, I would listen to stories my grandma would tell about her ancestors on the frontier. As someone who has always been interested in history, I was naturally fascinated by the colorful characters in those oral traditions. By age sixteen, I had already begun to use the information passed down to me and continue on the journey to fill the branches of my family tree. It brings me great joy to share what I've found with my kin to preserve as many photos and stories for future generations.
