UM you think so?

writing ones own life history is a personal thing-- recording your own life history is not the same as searching for ancestors information.

I try to recommend people to record their own life-- because in later years when descendant s start searching their family history-- If some of those ancestors have made a record of their own lives and also world history-- that will be a real discovery of learning about the person for whom you are searching.


Too often today when searching for family history-- there is little actual information about those people for whom we search. Unless one is fortunate to take part in a programme such as !Who DO Y OU THINK YOU ARE" which is shown on UK TV. Obviously masses of research is done to enable the people on the programme to truly explore their ancestors history-- travel to other countries etc. They are fortunate indeed.


SO I would urge people to try to record their own life experiences where possible. Usually when we are young we literally are just LIVING OUR LIVES often its the retired generation that has time to research.

so many folk I know who tell me how far they have reached in their search for info about their ancestors-- there is still very little real information about the lives that they had led. It is unlikely that earlier generations thought of trying to record their own life experience-- working hard and surviving but it is fascinating to explore the past.

Help us to realise how fortunate we are NOW--
