Discover Your Past: The Chosen Families Project

Several years ago, genealogist Julian Rebelo created The Chosen Family Project (https://www.julianrebelo.com/blog?offset=1652374506063) out of his passion for collecting orphaned family photographs and documents, whilst trying to reunite them with their respective families. Julian shares some of the fascinating stories associated with this project and also advises how to preserve your own historical family photos.  

Julian Rebelo graduated from Monmouth University in 2023, majoring in chemistry and minoring in interactive and graphic design. He is also a recent graduate of the Boston University Genealogical Certificate Program. For more than eight years, he has conducted genealogical research for clients through his business JRebeloGenealogy. He is also the podcast host and primary researcher of The Chosen Families Project, as well as an active volunteer for the Keyport Historical Society.
