Family Heritage
Keeping Stories Alive
I have spent years gathering the people, places, and stories of Vermilion County, Illinois and of my own family. These sites are the result: archives built so the next generation can find what we found, and can find it easily.
Records
Obituaries, burial records, and documents gathered in one searchable place instead of scattered across paper and boxes.
Research
Built for the way family historians actually work: names, dates, places, and the connections between them.
Language
Family history includes the languages our families spoke, like Piedmontese, kept learnable for anyone curious.
Community
Local resources for neighbors who need help, because the story of a place is also the people living in it today.

Why It Matters
Family history is more than dates and names. It is the barn your grandmother grew up on, the language her parents spoke at the table, and the neighbors who showed up when things were hard.
I build these archives so that information stays findable, readable, and free of the subscription walls that keep so many family records locked away.
Have Records to Preserve?
If you have a family archive, a cemetery index, or a local history project that needs a home online, I'd be glad to help.
