Our Family Story
From twelve handwritten ledgers to a living archive — how one Vermont family learned to keep itself together.
Since 1998
Explore your roots. Keep your stories alive.
Elmhaven Ancestry began when Harold Elmsworth's twelve family ledgers passed to his grandchildren — forty-one years of births, marriages and homecomings in careful ink. We built this archive so those names would never sit silent on a shelf again.
Today the family counts more than two hundred members across nine states. We keep the tree, the photographs, the reunions and the stories — and we help every new-found cousin graft their branch onto the trunk.
Family comes first
Before anything else, we keep relatives close. Every decision here starts with bringing family nearer.
Preserve everything
Letters, ledgers, photographs, recipes. Scan it, label it, share it — a story nobody reads is only half kept.
Welcome everyone
New-found cousins sit at the head of the table. If you share the name, you share the story.
