True stories for family historians, researchers, local history buffs and other curious folks.
Join me each week as I share fascinating lost & found stories of real people and actual historical events that spark curiosity, creativity and conversations!
Welcome to The Lost & Found Story Box!
I’m Lori and I am thrilled you’re here.
Whether you’re a genealogist, family historian, history enthusiast, a nonfiction reader or simply someone who enjoys thoughtful storytelling, this is your place to connect with the richness of history in a fresh and engaging way.
Join me as I share deeply researched tales that go beyond the pages of history—stories of resilience, mystery, and legacy that still resonate today. From serialized sagas spanning months to single-issue highlights, every story has been chosen for its uniqueness, historical significance and ability to reveal the unexpected—shedding light on events and people who deserve to be remembered.
To get started, check out Call Me a Bastard, the remarkable true story of Aimee Henry and Mary Martha Parker, one woman who just wanted to belong, and the other who would do everything in her power to make sure that never happened.
