How It Works

It's like building a living, breathing family history book—one phone call at a time.

Step 1: Import Your Ancestry Family Tree
We pull your existing tree and identify key relatives to interview.
Step 2: Mel Interviews Your Family
Each person shares their memories and insights about other family members, past and present—no apps, no tech skills needed, just a simple phone call.
Step 3: Receive a Bio on Every Family Member
The result? A beautifully written collection of short biographies capturing the stories, personalities, and connections that make your family unique.
Step 4: Fill in Missing Gaps
Learn things you never knew, uncover family lore, and get firsthand accounts of the people who shaped your history.

Mel helped piece together our entire family history by calling every living relative. She uncovered stories going back four generations that none of us knew about. Now we have this amazing record of our ancestors' lives, all captured through these wonderful phone conversations.
