"Using family stories, historic and modern photographs, and maps, I'll share the places where our ancestors lived and show what those locations look like today," Gregg writes. "This presentation serves as a companion to my earlier presentation, 'The Seeds We Carry,' taking you back to the same places through a modern-day perspective.
