Hey Fellow Family History Enthusiasts! 🌳✨
Picture this: 1997, was the year I caught the family history bug, and dang it, there's no turning back! It all started when two of my first cousins 1x removed, Josephus Hicks and Lovant Hicks III, shared the wonders of my paternal family tree with me. They were my family history superheroes and I affectionately called them my uncles.
At first, I was all about the long list of folks who shared my last name. But then, oh, the intrigue hit me like a genealogical lightning bolt! Where did these awesome people come from, and what's their story? That's when I decided to dive headfirst into both my paternal and maternal lines and let me tell you, I'm absolutely hooked on this ancestral journey!
Now, I've got this burning passion to help others unearth their family sagas. I mean, who wouldn't want to embark on a journey to discover the hidden gems in their family history, right? 🕵️♀️🕵️♂️

It's like adding puzzle pieces to the grand mosaic of Black American history!
