In this week's "Story Magic" talk, I went into what boils down to the essence of why I think what we're doing at Projectkin is so important for #FamilyHistory and the stories we tell ourselves as families.

That conversation sparked this lovely comment from one of our active members, Jennifer Jones of https://Trackingdownthefamily.substack.com.
