Why are the women in our family trees so hard to find—and what happens when we finally remember them?

In this powerful conversation genealogist, medium and author Sharon DeBartolo Carmack shares tools for uncovering the stories of our mothers’ mothers’ mothers—and explains why remembering them is an act of healing that ripples through generations.

You’ll hear:

* How to uncover traces of female ancestors even when official records are missing

* Why divorce petitions, letters, and samplers can reveal more than birth certificates

* The emotional power of walking where your ancestors lived and touching their handwriting

* How mitochondrial DNA links us physically to generations of women before us

* Why simply remembering our forgotten foremothers sends healing through time

As Sharon reminds us, “Nobody wants to be forgotten. Through our research and writing, we remember them—and we honor them.”

A moving exploration of lineage, love, and the women who carried us here.
