Get To Know Me
Hi, I’m Shannon
My genealogy journey officially began in 2017, but if I’m being honest, the curiosity started long before that.
My parents divorced when I was young, and I didn’t grow up knowing much about one side of my family. As I got older, I realized there were entire branches of my story I knew almost nothing about. No names, no stories, no context. And if you know me at all, you know that unanswered questions do not sit well with me.
So I started digging. Just a little at first. One record led to another, which led to another, and before I knew it I was deep into census records, old documents, and family lines I never knew existed. The moment I uncovered a connection that finally made things click, I was completely hooked. Down the genealogy rabbit hole I went, and I’ve happily stayed there ever since.
I start with curiosity and don’t stop until the pieces make sense.
Why I Do this..
Genealogy is personal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to family history.
When you work with Lineage Uncovered, you work directly with me from start to finish. I take the time to listen, ask questions, and understand what you’re really hoping to learn. My research is grounded in historical records, trusted sources, and careful analysis, but it’s also fueled by curiosity and persistence.
I genuinely love the puzzle-solving side of genealogy. I love following clues, connecting details, and seeing how one small discovery can open the door to an entire branch of a family.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I’m the proud mom of three grown daughters, and family has always been at the center of my life. That probably explains why this work feels so meaningful to me. Family history isn’t just about the past. It helps us understand who we are, where we come from, and how we’re connected. Helping others uncover those connections is something I truly care about, and I don’t take it lightly. Also, fair warning — once you get me talking about genealogy, I can talk for a while. I really do love this work.
