About the creator...
Welcome! My name is Emily Kowalski Schroeder and I am the creator and author of the Growing Little Leaves blog. After working as a scientist, I made the decision to suspend my career and stay at home with my children on a full-time basis. I soon became an avid genealogical researcher, and began looking for age-appropriate ways in which to engage my young children in learning their family's history. Somewhat dismayed by the lack of family history education options for younger children (toddlers through elementary age), I decided to develop my own genealogy education activities for my children and share them with others via my blog, Growing Little Leaves.
Since 2014, I have designed and presented beginner genealogy and heritage classes for both adults and children. I've also had the privilege of speaking at the Federation of Genealogical Societies National Conference and at RootsTech. I am currently employed as a reference staff member for the Cuyahoga County Public Library system in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Growing Little Leaves is a proud supporter of The NextGen Genealogy Network, a nonprofit group whose mission is to 'foster the next generation's interest in family history.'
