Welcome!

Whispering Leaves Genealogy is the story of my ancestors, of lives once lived, battles fought, and legacies nearly lost to silence. What began as a search for names has grown into something far more profound: a reckoning with truth, a reclaiming of stories, and a refusal to let history fade quietly into the past.

Through records, letters, and long-forgotten whispers, I’ve uncovered not just facts, but the resilience, pain, and strength woven through generations. Here, I don’t just tell stories—I put them into context. I examine the patterns, the power dynamics, the social and emotional realities that shaped the people who came before me. This is how we move from memory to meaning.

This isn’t just about genealogy. It’s about bringing the past to light, honoring what was hidden, and making sure those who came before me are not just remembered,  but understood.

Along the way, I may share pieces of my own story too. Because history doesn’t only live behind us, it lives through us. While I don’t know exactly where this path leads, I know one thing for sure:

The silence ends here.
