“I create genealogy tools to help you build and document your family tree.” — Authoress

Building your family tree shouldn’t feel confusing, overwhelming, or incomplete.

For many Black Americans, our history has been passed down through memory—fragmented, untaught, or left undocumented.

That’s where this guide begins.

A Black American Genealogy Guide to Tree Starters was created to help you organize what you already know—your family stories, names, and connections—into a clear and structured foundation.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Capture oral history from your elders
  • Record memories before they are lost
  • Track names, generations, and relationships
  • Identify missing pieces in your lineage
  • Build your family tree step-by-step

But building your tree is only the beginning.

This is a two-in-one system.

When you flip the book, Bloodline Verified takes you further—guiding you through documenting, organizing, and verifying your findings with structured worksheets and tools.

Because your family history deserves more than memory.

It deserves to be documented.
