Tea & Travels
Travel the World.
Travel Through Time.
Tea and Travels is my way of helping people discover where their story began. Through historical research and exploration, I trace the roots of your family and piece together the journey that led to you.
Every family has a story waiting to be uncovered. I work through historical records, archives, and family documents to build a picture of who your ancestors were, where they lived, and the lives they led.
Discover the Details of Your Past >
Sometimes the research leads somewhere you can actually go. When it does, I travel to those places and bring back a firsthand account of what your ancestral home looks like today, the people, the landscape, the everyday life of a place your family once called their own.
Working With Me
Your family's story is just waiting to be told. If you chose to work together, I will assist you in telling that story beautifully.
Our ancestors and our familial history help us understand who we are. Knowing the details of exactly where we came from can allow us to understand our relationships, behaviors, family traditions, and even our preferences, health, or habits.
Inquire with me to begin. We discuss exactly what you're looking for and if we may be a good fit.
I research your family's history using decades of experience understanding and interpreting historical documentation, as well as my access to extensive tools and resources.
I compile a report of your family history, and we have a virtual cup of tea to discuss the details and connections I discovered.
Optionally, you can enhance the experience with a virtual day in the life tour of the real places your ancestors lived and worked.
Understand Yourself Through History
