THE FOUNDER'S STORY
By Alma Boodram, Great-Grandmother, Inventor & Founder of Photo Family Tree
Hello, I’m Alma Boodram—founder of Photo Family Tree. I’m a great-grandmother, an inventor, and a woman with a mission: to help families everywhere celebrate their roots through artful, visual storytelling.
This journey began decades ago, during a quiet drive home from Jacksonville, Florida. I remember asking myself, “What could I create that anyone could use—even if they didn’t know they needed it?” And then it struck me: every family has a story, and every story deserves to be seen.
From One Photo to a Big Idea
I grew up on a farm in Middlesex, North Carolina. Born in 1947, just three generations out of slavery, we didn’t have much. My family was too busy surviving to talk about our past, and we didn’t even own a camera. To this day, I only have one childhood photo of myself, taken by an uncle who visited from Washington, D.C.
That silence about our history... it stayed with me. It made me determined to ensure my grandchildren and great-grandchildren would know where they came from.
A New Way to Celebrate Family
I wanted more than just names and dates on a chart—I wanted something beautiful, something that honored our ancestors and felt worthy of display in any home. So, I built it. My prototype #1 was handmade with ceramic trunks, photo holders, and paper hearts—an early version of what would become the Photo Family Tree.
Years later, I was awarded two U.S. patents: a display kit and a digital family tree builder app. Though funding has delayed its full development, the dream is still alive.
A Journey of Faith and Determination
This has never been an easy path. I’ve worked with multiple developers across many countries, investing my savings, my time, and my heart to bring this vision to life. I’ve faced technical failures, broken promises, and long delays—but I’ve never given up.
Why?
Because this isn’t just a product—it’s a promise—a way for families to preserve their legacy with beauty, pride, and love.
Building a Legacy That Lasts
My greatest hope is that the Photo Family Tree becomes more than just a keepsake. I want it to be a bridge—something my grandchildren and great-grandchildren can build upon, both emotionally and financially. This is the legacy I want to leave behind.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. By supporting Photo Family Tree, you’re not only helping preserve memories—you’re helping fulfill a lifelong dream rooted in love, resilience, and family.
