Storytellers of the Tribe

The decision and work that go into searching for our family's histories is one that transcends time. It is thrilling to think of what it means that our genealogy traces back into far flung history and that we get to find it and piece it together. 
Heritage Hunters and Huntresses- that's us! Often when we picture the adventurers of our time we think of the iconic Indiana Jones, Flynn Carson, Ben Gates etc and in each of their cases they had specific goals in exploring new information and fields of study and didn't allow failure to halt their expeditions. In the same way, we have our goal of Family History and searching our family's histories and we are breaking new ground in discovering information and stories that have long since passed away. In each example of these iconic adventurers they found difficulties along their path and kept moving forward. Even when things feel hard, keep searching! Keep discovering! Keep hunting! Our charge is heavy, and important- we are the storytellers of the tribe. 
Happy Hunting!

  1. Thank you for the great interviewing ideas in order to help compile family history. I think the hints that FamilySearch and Ancestry.com set up make it so much easier to find information and connect it with our ancestors. It is exciting to discover more family members in such an easy way.
