Behind the Family Tree: Meet Kathryn

I’m Kathryn, and welcome to Foreverlee Family Trees—your ultimate hub for uncovering the fascinating tales hidden within your family history. As a Southern Virginia native, I grew up where history is practically part of the landscape, from the first English settlement in Jamestown to the defining battles of the Civil War. But fear not, there will be no pop quizzes here, just lots of fun digging into the past!

Here and on my Instagram, I love unearthing the connections between historical figures and their families. It’s like being a family detective, except all the mysteries are centuries old and everyone involved is beyond caring about privacy. Exploring these stories shows us how much our ancestors’ lives ripple through to today, and I share these insights hoping you’ll find them just as captivating.

This site is also a peek into the genealogy work I do for clients—think of it as the reality show version of history, where every day brings a new revelation or an unexpected connection. It’s a journey through time, minus the time machine, but plus a lot of old records and some pretty surprising discoveries.

If you’re curious about your own lineage and want to discover the heroes, the dreamers, or maybe the occasional wild card in your family tree, I’m here to help guide you through the process. Together, we can trace your roots back and bring the stories of your ancestors to light.

So, grab a comfy seat and let’s go on a historical adventure together—it’s going to be enlightening, occasionally hilarious, and totally worth it!
