It all began with a childhood filled with family history. After losing my mother at a young age, my grandparents played a central role in my life, bringing me to family gatherings, reunions, and even funerals. Immersed in these experiences, my curiosity grew, and I began piecing together the intricate puzzle of my family's past. I'm not the most advanced genealogist, but I know enough to really help others find their families and stories, too. My last name is Long, hence the LONG time Genie (genealogist.) My passion for genealogy has only deepened over time, leading me to create LongTimeGenie - Family Finder Services.
