At Paperdoll Ancestry and Estates, I believe that every family has a story etched into the walls of time. My mission is to help you uncover these narratives and connect them to a place you can call home.

Our Story In the heart of Maryland, Lisa Hazell embarked on a journey over two decades ago that would bridge the past with the present. With a passion for storytelling and a deep reverence for Black family history, Lisa founded Paperdoll Ancestry. It’s more than a business—it’s a calling to preserve the cultural heritage of Black Americans and celebrate their contributions to the tapestry of our nation.

At Paperdoll Ancestry, we strive to make this vision a reality by offering a unique blend of ancestry research and real estate expertise. Our goal is to provide a sanctuary that not only reflects your heritage but also inspires future generations.
