Only you can tell your own story, but writing a book is a huge undertaking. That’s why so many people choose to hire talented writers to assist them. Those of us who do this work feel honored with the trust of our clients and take this responsibility very seriously.

As a graphic designer, working with such wonderful authors (and Association of Personal Historians members) as Trena Cleland and Linda Blachman, I help make their beloved manuscripts into books both worthy of passing down through the generations and an inviting experience to read and share. The writers may spend years with their clients interviewing, transcribing, writing and editing. I spend anywhere from a few months to a year with the writers for each project - scanning and repairing photos; designing and laying out pages, collages, section dividers and covers; finding or creating additional photos and artwork to supplement their story. It is, by its very nature, a labor of love.

Beloved scrapbooks and photo albums are handed over to me to be hand-scanned and repaired with utmost care and respect. I often visit the subjects in their homes and photograph them with their families or animals, engaged in activities they love. I may also photograph their precious heirlooms to help round out the story. Whether a book is about a person, church, house, business, wedding, hobby, vocation, an event, or traveling the world - the elements are all the same. The visuals draw you in and the words carry you away.

I have worked with churches, individuals and businesses to tell their stories. Sometimes clients simply want a book of photos that tells a story all its own. In fact, many people are now choosing to have their photo albums scanned and recreated in digital form to share with their families.

FAMILY TREES Whether a client has already gathered his or her family’s genealogy or wants the research done by a professional, we can create a work of art from the information. From the simplest chart to an artistic interpretation of family history, it all starts with what the client “knows for sure.” Clients will hand me anything from a fully vetted Ancestry.com file to an envelope on which notes have been jotted with a few names and dates.

Charts that are created for personal history books can also be enlarged, printed on archival, photo-rag paper and custom framed.

Andrew Warner Family Tree and Royal Lineage Warner

Royal Lines

Probably from Le Warn (French): One who issues summons in a court of law, or one who warns away intruders from his lords domain. Some authorities give the derivation from Wern (German).

Thomas Warner b. 1500 d. 1546 Husbandman Great Waltham, Essex Co.,England & Mrs. Thomas Warner

John Warner b. 1542 d. 5/23/1584 Husbandman Great Waltham, Essex Co.,England & Margaret (last name unknown) 1546

It is probable that Andrew was born in Great Waltham, Essex, England, and lived there until he was about 12 when he moved with his parents to Hatfield Broad Oak. It is likely that he married and that at least two their first two children were born here. No record has been found of this marriage or of his wife, but Warner tradition has it that her name was Mary. The will of Andrew's mother, Mary, made May 12, 1627, gives 20 shillings to "the Two Children of Andrew my sonne". As Andrew was sole executor of her estate, he must have been living in England at the time.

It is interesting to note that Andrew Warner and his family came to America near the beginning of that great tide of emigration which started in 1629. By that time Plymouth and Salem had been settled, but the total English population of New England was hardly more that 800. In April of 1630, John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, left for America. Later that year he was followed by 17 ships bearing over 1000 people. By 1634 the annual emigration had reached 4000. In 1640 the Long Parliament met, the power of Charles I was checked, religious persecution declined, and the flood of emigrants ceased. In those 11 years the population of New England grew from 800 to 26,000.

Andrew's parents lived in Hatfield Broad Oak after 1609. This town is only 20 miles from Braintree and 16 miles from Chelmsford where Hooker lectured. Andrew and his family must have lived in or near Hatfield at this time. Therefore, he had every opportunity to become a follower of Thomas Hooker, and his emigration coincided with that of the company. And since Andrew later followed Hooker to Hartford and was a deacon in his church, it is all together likely that he and his family left England to avoid religious persecution.

The first direct mention of Andrew Warner in America is an entry in the town records of Cambridge, Massachusetts, then known as "Newtowne". On January 7, 1632/3, there are recorded several votes regarding the erection of houses in the town and the division of the fence to enclose the common, with the number of rods of fence each settler was to build. This is the first entry made in the records of the town save a single item on December 24 calling a monthly meeting. Of the 42 names given, the eleventh was "Andrew Warner, 20 Rod". Only 11 of the 42 settlers built as much as 20 rods of fence while 24 built less than 10 rods each. This would indicate that Andrew Warner was already a resident of Cambridge and was among the more wealthy members. There are many references to Andrew in the town records the nature of which indicate that he was prominent and well respected. On May 14, 1634, he was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Thomas Warner

The reason for Andrew to uproot his young family and move to America was probably not the desire to own land but religious persecution. Since his family was fairly prosperous and he became a land owner soon after his arrival in America, he probably owned land in England. In 1625, Charles I ascended the throne of England. He at once assumed all the power of Church and State and escalated the existing war against Puritanism. The ministers of that religion were driven from their livings, or into exile, and the laymen were tortured and forced from their homes. Many sought refuge in the New World.

Among those who dared to oppose this policy was the brilliant preacher, Thomas Hooker, Rev.. He was silenced as a minister of the church in 1626 but continued to speak as a lecturer in Chelmsford, Essex County, until 1629, when the persecution became so great that he left and escaped to Holland. At this, a large number of his followers emigrated to America, being known as the "Hooker Company" and also as the "Braintree Company", from Braintree, the town in Essex from which many of them came. Andrew and his family likely belonged to this company. Hooker arrived in America from Holland on the Griffin on September 4, 1633, to become the pastor of the church at Cambridge, made up primarily of his followers.

Creation of this tree was made possible through the extensive research of Dorothy Werner (nee Lustig) of the Lewis Line and by Georgia Warner, our beloved family historian, also of the Lewis line.

Most of the historical data was rechecked with both the Mormon Registry at FamilySearch.com and the Michigan data with myfamilyhistory.org and rootsweb.com. Where dates did not correspond, I entered the date most frequently used across multiple databases.

Captain Joe Warner b. 1874 died at 6 yrs. of age

The photo of Andrew Warner comes to us courtesy of Georgia Warner from a museum in Cambridge, Mass. A wealth of additional information can be gained by entering the words "Andrew Warner" into Google or any search site on the internet.

PHOTO SCANNING, RESTORATING & ARCHIVING

As photos age the silver nitrate on the surface often begins to degrade. A digital scan may not last “forever.” It does, however, capture the photo and allows for repair of the damage without harming the original.

Digital scanning also gives you the ability to share the identical images with other members of your family and store them in a safe location so that if there’s an earthquake or fire, your precious images can be recovered.

When scanning old photo albums, my team carefully places pages on the scanner and holds the books on the scanner by hand. Once scanned, each individual photo must be labeled and any markings or notes must be preserved with the image. Then, each image is digitally repaired, cleaned and prepared for inclusion in the book.

Clients also have the option of receiving a CD or DVD containing all the images from their project.

CELEBRATION BOOKS AND MEMORIAL TRIBUTES Major birthdays, anniversaries, births, graduations, and other significant life events are all great reasons to consider creating a book. It’s a simple way to capture the moment in time and share it with family and friends, as well as those who could not be there.

Like celebrations, funerals and memorial services are important occasions for tributes. Simple but elegant memorial booklets with a few photographs and a short biography of the deceased make for lovely keepsakes.

Memorial cards are also a sensitive way to let friends and family know that a person has passed away and at the same time give them a photo of the deceased. The inside can be left blank, or include a poem, quote and/or the name, birth/death dates of the deceased. Posters outside of venues can indicate the location of services.
