Anni Parsons is a Genealogist, Archivist, and Librarian with MLIS and over 30 years of research experience in genealogy.  She is the owner of Archive Your Past https://www.archiveyourpast.com. which is based in Milwaukee, WI and all about family history and historical documents. 
 
Genealogy has been a passion for me since I was young.  It’s my mother’s fault.  With education as my other love, I decided to start a business with the genealogist in mind.  I love to teach others how to use resources to improve their own genealogy skills.  My master’s degree helps me achieve more for the genealogist.  With training in archives I can assist with organization of family research and digitization of documents, photographs, slides, and VHS.  Also with archives comes lots of knowledge in preservation of documents, visual materials and artifacts that a genealogist may collect. I recently added a few more services to my arsenal.  I am now offering lineage research, memorial videos and slideshows, and merchandise that is uniquely genealogy-based.
