Hi! I’m Jenni, The Ancestor Connector.

Your ancestors are waiting to tell their story. Are you ready to listen?

Hi! I’m Jenni, but you can call me The Ancestor Connector.

Genealogy is BORING, Your Ancestors aren’t!

With over 15 years of experience in research and family history, I connect families throughout generations. I will help you find those missing branches in your family tree.

I have been doing family history research since I was in ninth grade, but really hit the ground running in my early 20's. I became interested after learning of my great great great grandfather and his many very exciting stories of him being an outlaw in the wild wild west (…Was I from outlaw blood?? I had to find out!). My grandmother spent decades on genealogy and family history, and she and I worked together to solve many family roadblocks. We uncovered the stories that were just rumors, and better yet some of the hidden truths from our ancestors.

It has been exciting to me since!

I am a certified Genealogist, continue to take family history classes, and specialize in giving our ancestors a voice, by telling their story.

We wouldn't be where we are without them, let's honor that.

“Our families are among the most important social groups we belong to and identify with, stories about our family tell us who we are in the world…”

— Robyn Fivush, Ph. D.

My Signature Service: The Ancestor Connection

This is my unique, signature service, where we go beyond all the research, documenting, filing, and tree creation (as important as all of those things are!).

The Ancestor Connection service gets into the depth of your family history, and in my opinion the reason we do all of this research. I work with each family member that participates in the activity, and match them with an ancestor who they share traits with. I tell stories of their life and hopefully make a connection between family members, living and dead.

The goal is that each family member feels excited to know where they came from and what makes them… them! Family members also receive a genealogy journal and family tree.

Legacy is a thread going across generations. See how that thread is connected to you.

  • “My extended family hired Jenni (aka The Ancestor Connector) for her specialty service of ‘Ancestor Connecting.’ I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away!

    Even my husband, who isn't easily impressed, gave her JAZZ HANDS at the end of her presentation. She took all 23 of the people in attendance and gave them a special Ancestor to connect with. The 17 kids under the age of 16 were ALL listening and very interested. I think this was a wonderful jump start to get the kids interested in where and who they come from.”

  • “My 16-year-old hasn't stopped talking about it! Jenni came and did an Ancestor Connection with my family, and it was a HIT!

    She told my 16-year-old he was connected to an ancestor from the late 1800's — He was the leader of a group and people looked up to him, folks were drawn to him and respected him. My son is the oldest of 7 siblings and is definitely a leader.

    It was a confidence booster for him, an actual ancestor that he shares the same qualities with. Jenni gave everyone a picture of this special ancestor, a journal and a family tree. We are excited as a family to research more one these incredible people who paved our way! Thanks Jenni!”

  • “What a special treat this was. We laughed, and we cried. Jenni had a special way of bringing our ancestors to life.

    I felt them near and will never forget this amazing experience.”

    ~ Shelly | Price, Utah

  • “SERIOUSLY one of the most priceless gifts I and my family have ever been given. I couldn’t believe what Jenni could find and how well she matched each child with an ancestor similar to them. Unbelievable and so precious. Thank you, a thousand times, over. “
