About Us

Every family has a story waiting to be discovered. This section is designed to spark questions, stir emotions, and invite visitors to look closer — at John W. Heath’s journey, at the untold chapters of Black military history, and maybe even at their own roots. Whether you’re here for inspiration, research, or reflection, we hope something here grabs your heart and holds your attention.

Some ancestors leave behind clear trails. Others leave questions. This space is dedicated to those whose stories are hidden behind missing records, name changes, or lost time. Whether it’s a forgotten maiden name or a soldier whose service was never documented, we honor the search itself — the persistence, the creativity, and the hope. Brick wall ancestors remind us that history isn’t always easy to find, but it’s always worth seeking.
