Joy Curtiss

ProGen Member Overview

My passion for family history began with my grandmother—her enthusiasm for understanding her ancestors was contagious! A hobby at first, I became increasingly interested in my family’s story. After a successful career in corporate marketing at some of the world’s most prestigious brands, I took a leap of faith to create my own company, FamilyTree Traditions, that combined my two loves of art and genealogy.

FamilyTree Traditions offers custom works of art and other artistry that provides a modern way to showcase ancestry in the home; while providing genealogy services for those still searching for their roots. While there may be certain questions that can’t be solved, our pledge is to always conduct thorough research, presented with sensible conclusions in a professionally cited report for each of our clients.
