The Family History Project
The Family History Project works with houses of worship, organizations and schools to collect and present the family history of community members.
THE FAMILY HISTORY PROJECT works with communities across the United States to amplify the unique family histories and immigration journeys of our ancestors, in an effort to foster connection across cultural and political divides. The Project was conceptualized in 2025 by Ruth Messinger and then developed by Rachael Cerrotti and T.J. Kirkpatrick who draw on their combined decades in the storytelling field to tailor projects that utilize story collection, digitization of family photographs, audio storytelling, exhibitions, books, student engagement, and public events.
