My name is Lizzie Kunde and I am the newest member of the AncientFaces Support team!
See more info about me here: Lizzie - Community Support and I look forward to getting to know our wonderful members. Feel free to reach out with any questions, happy to help :) My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from.
Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!
