Our Story
At Family Legacy Files, we believe that every story matters. Founded by Karl Schnitzer, a seasoned professional with years of experience in the life insurance industry, our company was born out of a deep understanding of one simple truth: wisdom, memories, and life lessons are priceless treasures that can fade away without proper care.
While working closely with families, Karl witnessed firsthand how easily stories of love, resilience, and success could be lost to time. Inspired to make a difference, he set out to create a solution—a way for families to preserve their history and wisdom in a meaningful, lasting way. That vision became Family Legacy Files.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
To help you capture the invaluable wisdom, stories, and life lessons of your loved ones, ensuring they are remembered and cherished for generations to come.
We believe that every family’s story is unique—a collection of life’s most defining moments, relationships, and lessons. These stories deserve more than a fleeting memory; they deserve a home, a place to inspire and connect future generations.
Why We Do What We Do
We don’t just create books; we help create connections. In a world that often moves too fast, taking the time to capture and honor a family’s legacy is a gift that lasts forever.
Imagine your children flipping through a book filled with their grandparents’ stories or your great-grandchildren learning about the values that shaped your life. These aren’t just pages in a book—they are bridges to the past, anchors for the present, and guides for the future.
At Family Legacy Files, we are passionate about helping families preserve their most cherished moments. Because every story deserves to be told, and every family deserves to be remembered.
