Kimberly, Genealogist & Lineage Storyteller
I’m a genealogist, memoirist, and lineage‑maker who believes that every family carries stories worth preserving — even the ones that were hidden, forgotten, or reshaped by time. For 14 years, I’ve traced ancestral lines across centuries, solved long‑standing mysteries, and helped people reconnect with the roots that shaped them.
My work blends forensic DNA analysis with narrative clarity, honoring both the evidence and the human experience behind it. Whether I’m untangling a complex biological puzzle, reconstructing a colonial‑era lineage, or crafting an heirloom narrative, my goal is always the same: to help you understand where you come from — and to give your family’s story a place to live.
