Welcome to Family Tree Historian! My name is Josephine Hardy. I’m a genealogist and writer based in Arkansas, United States. My areas of speciality include Southern Italy, Australia and the United States.
I’ve been researching my family history, and the history of other families, for almost 10 years. Uncovering buried stories and the thrill of solving family mysteries are just two of the reasons why I love genealogy.
