Tell your family's stories
Remembering is important, recording even more so. Writing your family history is also helpful to make sense of your research and notes, and help identify gaps and questions.
If you're looking to tell your family's stories in a compelling way, I can help.
My educational background in literature and social anthropology, as well as my experience researching and writing my own family history make me uniquely poised to tell stories about people, places, historical events and much more.
If you trust me with your family's story, I promise to take good care of it.

I received so much more than I expected. I was really impressed with Kriti's communication, collaboration, creativity, and of course writing. It was a really fun process! She went above and beyond – thoroughly researching the era and ancestors. But most importantly, she genuinely cares about genealogy/family history, and will take great care with your family. Highly recommend. You'll come away with a final product of very high quality!
