Welcome to Gathering Stories: Where Memories and Legacies Meet

Updated: Apr 10

Welcome, dear friends, to Gathering Stories, the place for preserving your treasured stories and timeless photos that make up the layers of your family history.



Do you ever find yourself perusing old photo albums, peering into the faces of ancestors you've never met, or listening closely as others talk about stories from their past? Those moments have a truly beautiful quality, don't they? They're like windows into the past, revealing glimpses of the lives and stories that came before us.


I grew up in a small house on the same farm as my grandparents. My aunts, uncles, and family friends lived close by, attending the same church, frequenting the same town, and enjoying each other's company. Often, old photographs would emerge as we got together for afternoon coffee or a community event. Each photo held a story I was eager to hear about, leaving me mesmerized. Therein began my love of old things, family history, and keeping memories.


It's times like these that remind us of the importance of preserving our family history. Each photograph, each anecdote, is like the elaborate make-up of a tree – each branch a different story reaching towards the sky, each root a deeper connection to our past. Just as the cover of leaves provides shelter and shade, so our family stories and photos provide a way to share the past with the future.


At Gathering Stories, my aim is to help you with your family history, offering personalized photo books and family trees. Together, let's nurture your family's story, watching it blossom and flourish with each passing season.


Keep making memories,

~ Arron
