Hey there! I'm Paige Cummins, I am known as "Cousin Paige" by family, clients and throughout the genealogy industry.

As the Owner & Lead Genealogist of Cousin Paige's Genealogy Services, I've dedicated my career to helping families uncover and preserve their rich histories. Now, I'm thrilled to announce the latest addition to our service: My Leaf Story—a project that's been close to my heart for years.

With over 25 years of experience in genealogical research, I've helped countless families bridge the gap between their past and present. My passion for storytelling, writing and preserving legacies has led me to this pivotal moment.

Uniquely Generation X

As a Generation X woman, I've lived a fulfilled life with a variety of roles - daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, friend, co-worker, business owner, leader, team member (to name a few) and now 'Lolli' to my two beautiful granddaughters. Each of these aspects of my identity shaped me, and together through the decades, tell a story that's uniquely mine - and uniquely Generation X.

I've come to realize the profound importance of documenting our life experiences, and capturing our personal and professional stories. This definitely includes our generational experiences. Did you know that Gen X is the bridge between analog and digital, between then and now?

Our story, our perspective and our experiences are irreplaceable.

For too long, we have been solely focused on looking for the paper trail of ancestors and bygone eras; inadvertently neglecting to document the treasures of our own past and present. But our stories - my story, your story - they truly matter. We are the living history that connects yesterday to today.

I'm passionate about preserving these personal narratives, not just for ourselves, but for our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come. It's time we recognize the value of our personal and professional journeys, and take action to ensure our details are not lost to time.

This is why I'm dedicated to helping fellow Gen X women capture their stories. transform their life experiences and career milestones into powerful, lasting legacies that inspire future generations.

I believe when we recognize the value of where we've been and what we've experienced, we will provide invaluable insights and inspiration for those who follow in our footsteps.

I'm on a mission to disrupt the traditional approach to family history.

My goal is to help Gen X women—start a genealogy journey by chronicling their own lives.
