Vangie’s goal is simply to complete the Broken Life Journals within every family and reunite those separated by history whether man-made or simply fate. Therefore, Broken Life Journals, Inc. was formed to help individuals and families interested in not only knowing their past but learn the history of their ancestry. Discovering famlily heritage from stories told from generation to generation is the first step to discovery; the second is through documentation maintained by government offices, churches, cemeteries, travel manifests and media outlet. Bringing the past to the future helps families in not only learning about their ancesto'rs history but their medical and financial histories as well;and to understand family customs and discover lost relatives, known and unknown.
Broken Life Journals, Inc. is a genealogical company with the goal of reuniting families distanced by broken life circumstances such as adoption, foster care, slavery and war. Not only does Broken Life Journals research family lines but we also research plantation family lines to search for the descendents of the plantation and then reuniting broken family lines when possible. Sometimes finding heirs to land and perhaps money. Broken Life Journals continues the research by inviting the family members all races back to the plantation site or a nearby venue for a meet and greet.
