Hi, I’m Megan! I spent my childhood being raised in an old farm house in rural Michigan with my parents and younger brother. At age 18, I left my small town and traveled across the county to Denver where I attended college. I spent my 20’s and early 30’s working on my career, saving for a house and traveling around the world. Now in my late 30’s, I have “settled down” and now reside in southwest Michigan in a charming little bungalow with my wonderful husband and two year old son. I work full time in the hospitality industry and enjoy history, traveling, gardening, treasure hunting (antiquing) and genealogy! What started out many years ago with my mother and aunt searching for our Native American roots, has snowballed into a multi-generational passion for family history. Though we have yet to find any Native ancestors, we have uncovered shocking secrets, amazing stories, and countless hardships our family endured throughout our history. My goal for this page is to share what we have learned and honor them through the process. I want my generation and the future decedents of my ancestors to hear these stories, see these images and be proud of our colorful heritage.

Thanks for visiting!
