Here’s a window on our shared Carolinas ancestry, where our roots run deep and the stories of our past come alive. The Carolinas are a fundamental part of our identity which we cherish, honoring the resilient spirit of our ancestors.

Our recent trip to Chatham County, NC was a meaningful exploration of Tara’s paternal lineage, tracing back to her remarkable Norwood and Farrar 3rd great-grandparents. Their royal descent is a testament to the extraordinary legacy that flows through Tara’s veins.

Our connection to the Carolinas goes beyond the borders of North Carolina, and includes coastal South Carolina. John’s DNA especially carries the profound imprint of the lowcountry of South Carolina and the vibrant heritage of the Gullah-Geechee people.
