Carly Morgan | Choosing to Fully Embrace Her Chinese Heritage

Stories in Our Roots

Carly Morgan’s family has lived in the United States for generations, but the two sides of her family are not equally represented in the records. Despite the difficulty, Carly has dug into her Chinese roots and pulls her ancestors, and the traditions of their culture, to the present.

In this episode Carly shares:

• What she did when she thought her inadequacies were the reason she couldn’t find records for her maternal ancestors
• The story of a Chinese ancestor who was not Chinese biologically
• Why she insists on claiming her Chinese heritage

About Carly:

Carly Morgan is the writer and designer behind Family Tree Notebooks, a genealogy worksheet system designed to help you organize your family history page by page. She became interested in genealogy at an early age but, as a bi-racial person, was surprised at how difficult it was to research one side of her family versus the other. As a result, she is passionate about encouraging people to find and own their family stories, even if the research journey is challenging.
