I give thanks to my late mother and grandmother who started a work in me that has become a life long journey and passion. My mother started the first family tree nearly 30 years ago and I’ve just expanded it. 
My grandmother made me memorize all the matriarchs that span the the last 7 generations of our family when I was eight years old. Little did I know the impact that would have on the lives of so many, including my own. As a child, I loved looking at her old photo albums and she would identify all the people in the pictures and tell me so many things about them that I’ve never forgotten. Thank you, Mama!
