As Jennifer learned more about her family she recognized the threads in her life that connect her to her ancestors.

In this episode Jennifer shares:

• What it was like to connect with her grandfather as she retraced some of his steps during WWII
• What happened when she dropped by the home of extended family she didn’t know in Germany
• How understanding her past helps her consider her influence on future generations

 About Jennifer:

Jennifer Keniston's genealogy hobby turned serious in 2018 when she enrolled in the Genealogical Principles course offered through Boston University. She completed BU's Genealogical Research certificate in 2019 and started Origin Story Genealogy. She recently launched an Etsy shop by the same name that offers printable PDF research tools for genealogists and family historians. Prior to her dive into her family history, Jennifer studied fine art and photography in London, where many of her projects centered on identity and place. Jennifer believes that genealogy is not only an exploration into our past, it's an exploration into ourselves.
