You may not know anything about who you are or where you came from.  You may be curious about why you are the way you are, or why your grandparent has passed down a particular family tradition.  It may be a special recipe, and heirloom, or a story (which is either true or made up!).   Our ancestors were a strong breed of people who fought for liberty and dignity and prevailed.  They were a people with integrity and honor, and some of them left a very intentional legacy.  If you would like assistance in beginning, continuing, or summing up your family history, I'd love to help you.
