Greg Markway is a licensed psychologist with an interest in genealogy that was triggered by the life of his paternal grandfather, Joseph Markway. Joseph was born in New York city in 1896, left at the New York Foundling Home as a newborn, and sent to central Missouri at age five on an “orphan train” where he was taken in by the Markway family.

True Stories focuses on stories of family history, how those stories connect to the broader narrative of American history, and ultimately, who we are.
