Welcome to
Family History Catalysts
When we reflect on our own lives, challenges, and contributions to the family, we put our lives in perspective and recognize how much we’ve accomplished.
We preserve the memories of our generation for the next. They might seem ordinary to us, but extraordinary to our grandchildren. By sharing our stories with each other, we recognize and appreciate our universal human experience. While each of us has a unique story to tell, we all share the experiences of being a part of a family, working, and our day to day living.

Our Instructors
Caron Primas Brennan, MBA, and Cynthia Heidorn, PhD, CG®
are Certified Guided Autobiography Instructors from The Birren Center.
We are genealogists and our family’s historians. We have learned that all the research, photos, and ephemera in our collections are meaningless without their stories.
We discovered that using the Guided Autobiography approach, we can write engaging stories that families want to read. We want to share this process and experience with others who want to preserve their stories.
