#11  It's very common for people who research their family history to have a favorite branch of their tree, ancestors to whom they feel especially connected.  For others, one part of the family may be hard to connect to because of more recent family dynamics.  This episode explores the concept of balancing our family narratives and remembering all of our ancestors.

In this episode Heather shares:

• Her experience this month realizing a third-great-grandmother wanted to be remembered
• Different situations that create an imbalanced family narrative
• Why we should make an effort to remember all our ancestors, even in little ways
• How we can recognize our own biases when looking at our family tree
