Every Story Begins with Evidence
Follow the Evidence
Every family story begins with evidence. Records preserve the facts of a person's life, and careful research helps us understand what those records truly reveal.
Discover the Story
Historical records tell us where people lived and what they experienced. By placing those records into context, we begin to see the lives behind the names.
Perserve the Legacy
Family history becomes meaningful when it is shared. My hope is to preserve these stories and encourage others to discover the people who came before them.
About Me
Hello, I'm Michelle
I've always been fascinated by the moment when a name on a historical record becomes a real person. A census, land deed, church register, or newspaper article may seem like an ordinary document, but together they reveal the lives, relationships, choices, and experiences of the generations who came before us.

I've always been fascinated by the moment when a name on a historical record becomes a real person. A census, land deed, church register, or newspaper article may seem like an ordinary document, but together they reveal the lives, relationships, choices, and experiences of the generations who came before us.
As an Accredited Genealogist®, I enjoy asking focused research questions, following the evidence, and organizing complex information into clear, well-supported conclusions. Whether I'm researching an ancestor, mentoring genealogy students, or developing educational resources, my goal is the same: to make family history both accurate and approachable.
MiGenealogy is a place where I can preserve and share my genealogy research as it develops. As projects are completed, I'll occasionally add ancestor stories, research insights, and practical resources that I hope will encourage others in their own family history journey.
Thank you for visiting. I'm glad you're here, and I hope you'll stop by again as MiGenealogy continues to grow.
