Auntie Jen's Family Trees

Auntie Jen's Family Trees Family Historian and Genealogist researching my ancestry and out to help others along the way. I work with clients to trace their roots in various directions.

I started doing genealogy research in 2012, and it has since become my passion. I charge by the hour or offer package deals that include my services and other special offers. This page accompanies my blog, which documents my personal journey through genealogy. I will share photos, documents, history, stories, tips, deals, and even try to connect with long-lost relatives.

We honored my dad by having a brick placed at Soldiers Memorial Museum with his name and rank. He's been gone five years now (2021). Miss him every day.

Since 1971, Memorial Day has been observed on the last Monday of May.

However, the roots of Memorial Day, then known as Decoration Day, date back to the Civil War era. Local commemorations, the first of which were organized by women and African Americans, involved laying flowers on the graves of soldiers who perished during the war.
