Have you ever wanted to research your family or update your family tree? This week's post features resources that can help you with that project.
Genealogy is the study of family, family history, and the tracing of the family's lineage. Typical information that is collected for each individual on a family tree include the date of birth, birth place, date of marriage, place of marriage, death date, and place of burial. More detailed records will also include information on immigration, naturalization, education, and military service. As you begin your research, it will be helpful to get organized before your dive in. You should figure out your personal preferences for taking notes, saving records, and scheduling research. We also recommend that you focus on one person at a time and start with what you already know. This often means starting with yourself and working backwards.
Here are some books that can help you with your work:
