At Gen2Gen, I help families turn memories into meaningful digital experiences—private websites, photo archives, multimedia slideshows, and more. Whether you’re preserving your parents’ legacy or creating something for your children and grandchildren, I bring together technology and storytelling to help you honor your heritage and pass it on. Reach out for a free consultation—no obligation, just a conversation.

🧬 Family Websites
Custom-built websites that collect and present your family's stories, media, and milestones. Designed using Google Sites or other platforms and tailored to your needs—from private family access to public showcases.
🖼️ Memory Canvases & Photo Walls
High-quality canvas designs that highlight generational connections—like five-generation portrait collages, name-inspired pairings, and milestone-based photo displays. Ideal for gifts or family room galleries.
📼 Digitizing & Preserving Legacy Media
I convert old VHS tapes, DVDs, 8mm film, and audio reels into MP4s and share them securely via YouTube or Google Drive. I’ve helped families rediscover weddings, childhoods, and forgotten voices from the past.
🎙️ Audio Memories
Capture spoken stories and family memories. I record, edit, and pair them with photos and videos in interactive Google Sites—preserving family voices for the next generation.

🗺️ Census Maps & Family Spreadsheets
Using U.S. census data, I map out where families lived over time. I also create detailed spreadsheets that track namesakes, relationships, life events, and more.
🧵 Craft & Hobby Showcases
Turn hobbies into heirlooms. I create digital exhibits, like the website I built to feature 35+ needlepoints by my sister, complete with photo corrections and personal context.
🌳 Family Tree Web Apps
I install and configure family tree software like WebTrees on private servers, helping you organize genealogy data and connect it to documents, photos, and family lore.
This is more than a service—it’s personal. I’ve built these kinds of digital legacies for my own family, combining warmth, accuracy, and a deep respect for the people behind the names. I’ll bring the same care to your project, whether you want a simple photo archive or book or a full interactive site with video, voice, and story.
