Every family we research has a story that someone, somewhere, tried to keep quiet.

That's exactly what the Black Garnet Books's Midwest Black Book Fair is about too. Held TOMORROW, it's built to honor stories of resistance and center the narratives that don't always make it into the official record: Black authors, Black publishers, Black history.

We're honored to sponsor an event that takes storytelling this seriously.

Black authors. Workshops. Book retailers. Food trucks. Free tickets, raffles, and swag for early registrants.

Genealogy can help you find names, dates, and places - but it also holds all the clues to your family’s resilience, values, and legacy.

But sometimes genealogical research isn’t as straightforward. It requires expertise in historical archives, knowledge of cultural context, and the expertise to piece together fragmented records.

This is exactly what my team and I will do for you inside the Ancestor Package. In this service, we’ll spend 8 weeks doing deep analytical research and diving into historical archives to find the facts and discover new details of your ancestor’s past.

We only need a few basic details to get started - like a first name, a spouse’s name, the name of a child/parent, or even the place they are buried to get started. From there, you’ll receive a detailed report and a call with me to walk through every finding.

Ready to dive into your family history?

Book your free call to explore the Ancestor Package, and I’ll share the process you’ll be guided through to go from curious about your past to proud of your family’s legacy in just 8 weeks.

Behind every child is a long line of people who loved, sacrificed, persevered, and dreamed. This custom family tree turns those generations into a visual reminder of the legacy they carry forward.

You've done all the right things - checked census records, searched vital records, collected family photos. But that nagging feeling that there's more to find just won't go away.

Trust that instinct. In my 20+ years of professional research, I've discovered that the most revealing records are often tucked away in places most researchers never think to look.

Just had a research review meeting with a client. *Think Finding Your Roots but on Zoom*

I showed her the obituaries for her mom's dad and two of her mom's paternal half brothers. All 3 obits had photos of the men.

She knew who her mom's dad was already and her mom had known him personally.

But my client had NEVER seen a photo of her grandfather before 🥹🥹

Happy Middle Child Day to the ancestors hiding in the middle of the family tree!

Every family has one. The firstborn who inherited the farm and gets all the stories. The baby everyone spoiled and photographed nonstop. And then... the middle ones. Just as fascinating, just less documented.

Maybe it's the great-great-aunt who ran off and started a business nobody talks about. Or the great-grandfather sandwiched between two "favorites" who actually lived the wildest life of them all.

That's exactly the kind of digging we love at to do!

I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to "pay it forward" in this field.

So much of what genealogists get to do (trace a name, confirm a record, build out a tree) rests on work other people did first. Indexers. Transcribers. Archivists. Oral historians who wrote things down before anyone official would.

But that labor hasn't been distributed evenly. For generations, most volunteer hours in this community went toward records connected to Western European ancestry, while records connected to Black, Brown, and Native communities went untranscribed, underfunded, or simply overlooked.

This month I'm kicking off a series on paying it forward: concrete, doable ways any of us can help close that gap. Think of it as genealogists helping genealogists, and communities helping communities.

This month: three reasons it matters, and a few places to start.

We're proud to help sponsor the Midwest Black Book Fair this August!

This event, presented by Black Garnet Books , exists to honor stories of resistance and uplift the intersectional narratives of Blackness, held during Black August in recognition of Black abolitionists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners.

That mission is close to our hearts. What we do at Anders Genealogical Services is a version of the same work: recovering the stories that history tried to erase, and making sure they get told.

Black authors, workshops, book retailers, food trucks, and more, all in one place. Mark your calendar.
