ABOUT
Hello, and welcome.
My name is ChrisTina, and I’ve been exploring my family history since I was 14 years old.
It began with the family Bible open on the living room floor, trying to understand the names and places that shaped the generations before me. While genealogy was never my profession, I’ve pursued it with the dedication of a full-time job.
Over the years, I volunteered with the NJGenWeb as the Monmouth County Coordinator, creating family history based webpages, and spent many hours in cemeteries transcribing and photographing headstones for Find A Grave and BillionGraves—often with the help of my husband, Thom, who’s been a steady partner in this work.
It has always been important to us not just to uncover history, but to share it, so others might find a piece of their own story in it. This site is one way of passing that on.
