Dedicated to reclaiming family histories.
Every name matters.
Leaf River Genealogy is a research and storytelling practice rooted in the belief that memory must be protected.
Working across Alabama and Mississippi, this practice engages historical records, oral histories, and archival materials to trace and restore family lineages—particularly those impacted by erasure, displacement, and incomplete documentation.
Our work extends beyond traditional genealogy. It is an act of stewardship.
Each record located, each name recovered, and each story documented becomes part of a larger commitment: to hold what might otherwise be lost.
Emerging from the conceptual framework of Reclaiming the Gaze (The Keepers), this practice exists at the intersection of research, art, and historical accountability.
We do not just find histories.
We keep them.
Every story holds weight.
Your family’s history will be carefully researched, documented, and preserved.
