DO YOUR OWN FAMILY NOT OTHERS

Are you aware by what I mean by do your family not others?

In the family history world, life can get exciting when you venture into a new family through partnership or marriage, that’s when you need to know how to tackle it.

How would it be if you spend ten years researching your married name only to discover it’s end abruptly one day. All that time and money invested in a family that is never your blood. IF you have children them one day they may appreciate it.

Reasons to do your family not others:

·      You are connected by marriage only

·      The passion will be stronger joining the dots in your own family tree

·      A better understanding of the layout of the family

·      Information is not lost when you endeavour in it

·      Make life time friends who you are related too

While this was a tough one for me to learn as I researched a intertwined family of my ex’s long ago. I still was the one to leave all my work behind.

The key to this solution is let the blood family do the work, and maybe you and help point them in the right direction.

Because like anything, researching your family history is an addiction and it’s hard to know when to stop.

Seriously.

Because I have been there.

Myself.
