Family History Biographies
The Tree You Grew From
What Is A Family History Biography?
We are all a part of our families, and our families are a part of us. A large portion of your story comes from the stories of those who went before you. A contemporary family history is a collection of life sketches of extended family members, as selected by you. While it can include outside genealogic research, if desired, it is focused on the stories that make up the lives of the individuals in your family tree.
What Information Can Be Included In A Family History?
A family history is a record of a family and of the lives of family members. A family history can take many forms, including the following:
- A record of your family with you as a child, containing recollections of your parents and other living ancestors.
- A record of your family with you as a parent, containing recollections of your children and your other descendants.
