a little about me
Hi! I'm Megan
I'm a wife, mother of seven, genealogist, podcast host, and online educator. Yes, it's a lot, haha. In 2020, I graduated with an associate's degree in Family History Research, learning the skills to effectively and professionally do genealogy.
While learning, I knew that I needed to share the tips and information so I started an Instagram account. This turned into courses, YouTube videos, and eventually I discovered my true passion: helping people unlock the power of truly knowing their ancestors.
I have become more connected to many of the ancestors in my family tree through learning their story. By looking deeper at their records, asking questions, and thinking about what life was actually like for them, I have developed a love and connection that provides strength and guidance in my life.
I know that you can feel this connection with your own ancestors, and this online course will accelerate that discovery.

“In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage- to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness. ”
