Telling Stories
Welcome to Telling Stories.
I’m Amy — your resident story finder. Part genealogist, part gossip, part time traveler, and just too dang curious for my own good.
Around here, we don’t just collect names and dates — we tell the stories of the people history forgot, because remembering them helps us remember ourselves.

"Why We're Telling Stories" Explains the heart of this porch project. Amy shares how her own people came to Virginia as servants, exiles, and seekers, and why she believes every ordinary life deserves to be remembered. from moonshiners to preachers, pioneers to boogeymen, these stories aren't sugarcoated, just honest, human, and worth telling before they disappear.
