Family History is an addictive passion; however, it can reap an abundant of rather enlightening information when we are researching for some, if not, any historical evidences that fits within the period of our ancestors. Over the year, I have served in the genealogy community for over twenty-five years, and in most recent years, I’ve learned that by adding some historical contexts to your family history, it’ll not only amplify our perspective of who our ancestors were once was, it’ll add based documentations to their existence. I truly believe it’ll probe into a lively family history story.

My name is Matthew D. Friend, The Blind Genealogist. I have been Family Historian for over 25 years, and historical researcher for over 8 years. Thanks to my closest friend from high school who got me started with genealogy, and thanks to many of professors at the university who told me there's more to history than what’s in history books. I have lived in Arkansas since 2005; before that California and Oregon.
