RESEARCH
Keeper of the Past Genealogy, LLC is where careful research meets good storytelling. Led by professional genealogist Bonnie Wade Mucia, AG, AGL, the work here centers on lecturing and writing about New England genealogy and the records that shape it. Through talks, articles, and educational projects, Bonnie explores how town, church, land, probate, and family papers work together to tell fuller stories of people and communities. Her work emphasizes sound methodology, historical context, and the practical use of New England–specific resources. Genealogy isn’t just about names and dates—it’s about understanding lives, communities, and how the evidence fits together.
