Welcome to Ancestor Stories

Born from my own journey through grief and guided by the whispers of ancient lands, Ancestor Stories is a space where the past becomes personal.


Through custom genealogy services, immersive storytelling, heritage travel, and historical fiction rooted in sacred traditions, I help others rediscover their roots and transform names on a tree into living, breathing legacies.

Here, memory becomes medicine, and connection becomes a compass.
Whether you’re seeking to preserve your family’s story, trace your lineage, or walk the same earth your ancestors once called home — you’re not alone.

Our Mission

At Ancestor Stories, I guide individuals on a journey to explore, honor, and share their lineage through personalized research, immersive storytelling, heritage travel, and educational courses.

Rooted in my own spiritual path and ancestral intuition, this work is more than information — it’s transformation.
Through my historical fiction series — beginning with Mary’s Burden — I bring to life the forgotten voices of the past and illuminate how the stories we carry shape the ones we create.

My mission is to build a community of like-minded souls — seekers, storytellers, and adventurers — who long to uncover shared histories, rediscover lost connections, and walk the lands their ancestors once called home.

Your Mission

Walk Where They Walked

There’s something sacred about standing where your ancestors once stood — walking the same paths, feeling the land remember. I help turn family research into lived experience through personalized travel planning and group journeys. From ancestral site mapping to custom itineraries and cultural insights, each journey deepens your connection to place and legacy.

Stories That Remember

Stories keep us alive long after names are forgotten. Through *Mary’s Burden* and other works, I bring ancestral voices to life — and I help you do the same. Whether you’re writing for family or future generations, your story deserves to be told — and remembered.
