Family Voices Remembered

“Grandpa always said we were related to Albert Einstein.” Every family has those unforgettable stories—claims of famous ancestors, dramatic migrations, or whispered scandals. But are they true? And how can you pass them down in a way that lasts? Our Family Oral History service digs into those legends, verifies the details where possible, and turns them into engaging, well-documented narratives your family can keep forever.

More About It

• Start with the story – You bring us the family legend you’ve always wondered about, whether it’s a famous connection, a scandal, or a tale passed down for generations.

• Build a research plan – We identify the records and resources most likely to confirm or challenge the story, from vital records and census data to newspapers, military files, and more.

• Separate fact from fiction – As we gather documents, we evaluate how each piece of evidence supports or contradicts the legend. Sometimes the truth matches the story; other times it takes an unexpected turn.

• Add historical context – Beyond the raw documents, we connect the findings to the larger picture: migration patterns, social history, or events of the time that shaped your ancestor’s life.

• Tell the complete story – The end result is a clear, documented narrative that explains what we discovered, what the evidence shows, and how the legend holds up against the facts.
