What did America pass down to us and what do we do with it now?
Join me for historical deep dives, cultural archaeology, and family stories that challenge what we thought we knew.
I'm Danielle Romero. M. Ed., and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!

We're almost at 200,000, and I can't believe how big this family has gotten. Every one of you came here with your own story, your own questions, and your own people you're trying to find. That's what makes this place special to me.
If you've been watching and haven't subscribed yet, come join us. After we hit 200K, I'm taking you behind the scenes with me!
How long have you been here? some of ya'll were here from "Finding Lola"!

LEARN how to read documents for yourself. Dont trust me or the govt or anyone else. This is a new Sunday series where we are going to look at records and how to read them
In this premier episode, we are pulling back the curtain on history to dive deep into the mechanics of the Dawes Rolls. Ever wondered exactly how those final numbers were determined, who made the ultimate call, and what a Dawes Card is actually telling you? We are breaking it all down, record by record.
