EasyGenie's story
In the early 1980s, my mother had the foresight to make audio recordings with my late grandfather, a U.S. Navy veteran. He shared his life story, from growing up in a rural county, surviving the Great Depression, and settling down after WWII to raise a family.
I discovered the tapes more than a decade later ... and was hooked on family history! I conducted additional research, uncovering letters, photos, and hand-drawn charts.
It dawned on me that what our families have been doing nearly 100 years - preserving stories and research for future generations - is in fact the origin story of EasyGenie. It inspired us to create even better tools to preserve and share genealogy!
