Somewhere in
your family,
there’s a story.

Every good story begins with an introduction. Who am I meeting?

What brought you here? The mystery matters as much as the answer.

Meet the cast. Add as many people as you know—or leave this chapter for later.

For living relatives, names and relationships are enough. Leave out full birth dates and private details. Clarify whose relationship you mean: “Mary’s father,” for example.

Open the shoebox. Photographs, letters, records, and old trees are all places to begin.

One last look. Then we can talk about what this could become.
