Every family has a story, and for the Hicks-Brown family, Tionnia has become the storyteller, historian, and detective all in one. Her journey into the rich history of our family began with curiosity and a few online searches, but it has blossomed into a remarkable effort to preserve our heritage for generations to come.
Using resources like Ancestry.com, census records, birth and marriage certificates, and other public archives, Tionnia has pieced together the intricate puzzle of our family’s past. Through countless hours of research, she has successfully amassed over 500 documented family members, creating a living map of our shared history.
But as any genealogist will tell you, the story is never fully complete without the voices of the family itself. While digital records can tell us names, dates, and locations, they can’t always reveal the heart of the story—how people are truly connected, the memories they’ve left behind, and the relationships that define us.
Now is the time for each of us to join this journey. Tionnia is calling on every branch of the Hicks-Brown family to help ensure that our family tree is as accurate and vibrant as possible. By submitting information about your parents, siblings, children, and grandparents, you can help confirm names, clarify relationships, and fill in the missing pieces.
Every photograph, every story, every connection you share brings us closer to solving the “mystery of history” and ensures that our family’s legacy is not just remembered, but celebrated. Together, we can honor the past while creating a gift of knowledge for future generations.
So let’s rally behind Tionnia’s incredible effort. The roots are strong, the branches are growing, and with your help, the Hicks-Brown family tree will continue to flourish—accurate, complete, and full of life.
