Journey Through the Generations with Trisha & Phillip Cummings

Join Janice and Cherekana for a conversation with Trisha Mays-Cummings and her husband, Phillip Cummings as they share their passion for research, genealogy, and assisting researchers (especially beginners). Trisha has researched her family history since 2011. She is the content creator of Journey Through the Generations, which includes a genealogy blog, podcast, and YouTube channel. She is a member of the Jackson County (AR) Historical Society, the Arkansas Genealogy Society, Afro American Historical and Genealogical Society, and the Sons and Daughters of the United States Middle Passage lineage society. Phillip began researching his family in 2019 after attending his first RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City, UT. He manages the technology for Journey Through the Generations, including their social media platforms. He is also a member of the Afro American Historical and Genealogical Society.  Phillip and Trisha began Journey Through the Generations to share the information Trisha found about her family and how she found it. Their focus is to help people get started researching their families and inspire those who have stopped searching to get started again. Trisha and Phillip are graduates of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and are members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., respectively. Currently, Trisha works as a Medical Laboratory Technician for the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and Phillip is a Modular Development Manager for the largest retailer in the world. Phillip and Trisha have been married for 23 years and are the proud parents of one son, Wesley. www.journeythroughthegenerations.com
