Carren Crossley

Though born into a family of genealogists, Carren Crossley initially had little interest in traditional family history research. Her perspective changed when she discovered scrapbooking as a teenager, leading her to become her family's Chief Memory Keeper. Today, she's the go-to person when relatives want to revisit photographic memories of past events.

Carren found her perfect match in Storied, a platform that combines photos, stories, documents, and historical records in one shareable location. While her family's genealogical charts were largely complete, she discovered countless untold stories waiting to be shared. Recently, her mother uncovered more information about her second great-grandmother through Storied's newspaper archives than anyone had previously known. As her mother noted, "The experience was like a forensic artist. You start with a frame, add details, and eventually see in rich detail what the person was really like. They are looking right back at you."
