I’m overjoyed to share that From Fragments to Foundation is officially available! This project comes straight from my heart, mind, and soul. It’s a seven-generation odyssey that brings history to life through the lens of genealogy, resilience, and discovery.
More than just my family’s story, it’s a teachable journey—revealing how to uncover hidden roots, trace life before and after emancipation, and use DNA as a powerful tool in genealogical research. To purchase on Amazon, click HERE or the book image above. See book reviews below.

I was fascinated because I’ve been trying to figure out the steps to take to get the information I need. I’ve watched other webinars, talked to a friend who really seems to know what she’s doing (triangulation, etc.), and watched DNA Detective, but nothing has really “clicked.” Your webinar made it simple and easy to understand what to do first, second and so on.”
