Welcome to the home of The Kindred Curator! My name is Heather, and I have a passion for digging deep and researching the tangled roots of my ancestry. I will post items related to genealogy, and I hope you find something of value in your quest for family tree treasure!

I love to learn. I have spent almost 40 years of my life in school, teaching, or leading in some capacity. I like to take courses that give me more knowledge about a topic of interest or to learn something entirely new. Genealogy has always been a true passion for me.  I am driven by a deep-seated need to discover everything I can about my ancestors. I love trinkets, furniture, pictures, stories…anything I can get my hands on to give me a glimpse of a long ago relative. My curiosity for history and the thrill of the research keeps me up through the wee hours of the morning.
