I Felt Like a Fraud Doing Family Research—Until I Found This.

What did America pass down to us — and what do we do with it now? Join me for historical deep dives, cultural archaeology, and family stories that challenge what we thought we knew. A good story doesn’t just reveal the past — it reminds us how deeply connected we really are. I'm Danielle Romero and my content is all about exploring the nuances of American identity and unearthing hidden historical narratives. My great grandmother Lola left her heritage behind in Louisiana when she moved to NY in the 1930s. Last year, I decided to uncover our family story and begin finding our roots. I'm still on the journey of hidden heritage, genealogy and finding out how our family history fits in the context of community history!

It’s not always easy to feel confident when piecing together the past, especially when the story feels bigger than you. But this journey has led to some unexpected and eye-opening discoveries. I opened up about it on the Speak On It podcast—watch the full clip here: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/speak-on-it--6474164 Let me know if you've ever felt the same way while researching your own family story! ✅SUPPORT NYTN CHANNEL 👕 NYTN Merch: https://www.nytonashville.com ☕Send me a coffee!: https://ko-fi.com/nytn13#linkModal 📱 Connect on Patreon: www.patreon.com/NYTN ► 📝 My Free Weekly Newsletter: https://nytonashville.com/connect ▶Download the first section FREE of my "Be a Good ancestor" course here: https://nytonashville.com/shoplola/be-a-good-ancestor-course-digital-download-videos-bjks6 FOLLOW ME 📸 ► YouTube: / @NYTN ► Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/findinglolafilm/ ► Website: https://www.nytonashville.com/ ► X: / https://twitter.com/ImFindingLola/ OTHER VIDEO PLAYLISTS ► Melungeon + Redbones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLd8rizXCQ&list=PLvzaW1c7S5hS0duqgK5mkBh_9aqIpbooI ► "Who Counts as..."

My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.
