Anne-Marie Nel

Written in Stone

Ever since Anne-Marie was about 11 years old, she was captivated by graves, each one a silent witness to a life once lived. She remembers standing in front of a grave and wondering, ‘Who was this person? Where did they come from?’ As the years passed, she began searching for answers, uncovering fascinating stories behind those stones. What started as a curiosity grew into a deeper exploration of history, of lives lived, and of the times they shaped.

This passion led her to explore heraldry and genealogy, eventually pursuing a masters level in the studies of Genealogy, Paleography and Family History. This academic background helps her to connect people with their roots, tracing the lines of descent and deciphering the writings of their ancestors. Through this work, she helps bring personal histories to life, weaving stories that span many generations. It’s more than research, it’s storytelling in its purest form: Giving voice to those who came before and linking them to the present.
