For over 175 years, American Ancestors has proven that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Our will to ensure every person is able to uncover their ancestry has created a way for genealogists and historians to discover and sustain the stories of countless families.

August is Make-A-Will Month, and I encourage you and your loved ones to make your own will and way with Free Will, a free estate planning resource.

American Ancestors is dedicated to sharing resources and expertise that help you uncover the past. We are happy to partner with Free Will, which helps you look to the future. By creating your will this month, you can:

  • Dictate your vision for the future and your assets
  • Show your loved ones just how much you care about them
  • Share your family’s story with future generations — and create a legacy to help others discover their own
