You didn't just get here by accident.  You are here because everyone before you had the strength to persevere.  And everyone in your family genealogy has a story. 

Laurie Hermance-Moore is more than an accredited genealogist helping people discover their family history, she's a story-discoverer and a storyteller!  Laurie's company, Heritage Bridge, specializes in family history and forensic genealogy. She breaks down for me her process of discovery and story-weaving for her clients.  This was a really fun episode to record.  I think you'll enjoy it if you're into ancestry or family tree research.
