Inspired by my Grandma Eve’s writing about her “bold and queer” Grandma Hannah, this site sits in the space between all who’ve come before & all who’ve yet to come.



What do you get when you take a family tree inspired by oral history, coupled with our modern access to historic documentation, spurred on by genetic genealogy?
An amazing opportunity to uncover more about our ancestors than they could have ever imagined!
What does one need in order to dive into their own lineage?
- Curiosity (and a willingness to learn)
- Passion (for puzzles and detective work)
- Patience (lots of patience)
- Comfy Clothes (research sessions can be long)
- A Cuppa (your favorite beverage)
Whether you’re looking for tips + tricks,
insights into another’s family history journey,
a fun shirt to show off your personality,
or an ear to bend, I’m happily here to help!
Add a little levity to your research journey!
No matter where you are on your genealogy journey, never doubt how deeply important your life will be someday to someone you’ll never have the opportunity to meet.
You, and your lineage, deserve to be documented.
Onward,
Melis
