About Finding Cornerstone Stories
Finding Cornerstone Stories is a guide to discovering, preserving, and sharing Black family history. Written by genealogist and Black Ancestries founder Andre Kearns, the book introduces the concept of "cornerstone stories"—the defining moments, people, places, and records that become the foundation of a family's narrative. Drawing from real research cases and practical genealogy methods, the book helps readers move beyond collecting names and dates to uncover the stories that give family history meaning. Whether tracing ancestors through slavery, migration, military service, entrepreneurship, or community leadership, readers will learn how to transform historical research into a lasting family legacy. Finding Cornerstone Stories is for family historians, genealogists, educators, librarians, and anyone committed to preserving Black history one family at a time.
