Our Philosophy

As Americans, we hardly know our own history. More specifically, as parents and grandparents, we hardly know our own family history. 

And just as it is important for a country to know where it came from in order to plan where it is going, so too a family needs to know the same things.

In order to impress upon your children that they are unique individuals in their family, they need to know that they are tied by their heritage to a long chain of people who struggled for freedom and happiness before them.  Your children can know this only through their particular family history.

With this knowledge, your children will be able to see clearly that their current choices will affect their future generations. This, then, is the purpose of Know Your Family Tree: to introduce the present to the past in order to secure a better future.


Who We Are

Managing Partner Jonathan Tomhave was born in the Northern Minnesota town of Hibbing, Minnesota and attended Hibbing schools and Junior College. He graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Minnesota and received a Masters degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Afterwards he completed his course and exam work for his PhD from the University of Minnesota. Jonathan brings to genealogy his knowledge of foreign languages and an ability to transform family history research into living family stories.

  Co-founder Beverly Tomhave graduated from Grinnell College with a love of research and sociology. She attended Haile Selassie University in Ethiopia, William Holland University in India, Kyota Unversity in Japan and Chieng Mei University in Thailand. This gives her a unique world perspective on peoples, migration, and a love of travel, which she does for family histories. She did graduate work at the University of Minnesota in Industrial Relations, but found families more interesting than corporations. She has devoted her research skills to finding family histories for clients for over 40 years. Knowing one's origins gives one a sense of belonging and contribution to a larger reality than oneself.
