Dawn Beebe

ProGen Member Overview

As a child I was fascinated by the photo albums that each of my grandmothers had inherited from their parents. I was lucky enough from a young age to know through photos who multiple generations of my family were. Both my grandmothers were conducting family research in their own ways, and I inherited all of their photos and documentation. I am passionate about genealogy because I feel each person should know where and who they came from to better understand the person they are today. I keep the memory of my ancestors alive through genealogy and want to help others do the same.
