Why We Do This

The numbers speak volumes: 23andMe boasts over 14 million customers worldwide, while the AncestryDNA database connects a staggering 22 million individuals. The global genealogy products and services market is projected to soar from $5.4 billion in 2023 to a remarkable $15.8 billion by 2033.

Amid this surge, individuals are increasingly seeking meaning and fresh discoveries about their family's past and ancestral roots. While genealogy paints a tapestry of surnames, dates, and locations, it often falls short of revealing the rich tapestry of personal stories.

Enter Moments, born from the passion of our founder, Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins, who embarked on a personal genealogical journey when she was a teen. Her story began with a high school AP English class project, leading her back to the 1850s and the history of an enslaver named Samuel McGowen. The result was a final paper of which she was immensely proud, but it evolved into something with an entirely different meaning after she discovered, at the age of 31, that she was adopted. Unfortunately, by then, she had misplaced the paper. Plus, the discovery of her adoption, along with a million other turns of events, made it increasingly clear that sitting down with relatives to capture the stories of her family would likely be an impossibility.

But that did not have to be the case for others.

And that’s why she created Moments, to provide an easy way for individuals to preserve their most cherished times, their greatest memories, their most important moments.
