Welcome! I am an avid historian and ancestry researcher dedicated to preserving family legacies and uncovering the stories behind the names. My research involves extensively transcribing historical documents and tracking complex family lineages—including the Brown, Choate, Baxter, Ryan, Buford, and Porter lines, among others.

Beyond traditional archival research, I specialize in digital photo restoration, bringing cracked, faded, or damaged vintage family photographs and records back to life. I believe every person has a story waiting to be told, and my goal is to ensure those narratives are accurately documented and visually preserved for future generations.

If we share overlapping family branches or if you'd like to collaborate on research and transcriptions, please feel free to reach out!
