Welcome to Family Lore, where you will find tips and information to help you with your family history research.
With the passing of each generation, the knowledge, history, and experience cherished by previous generations is lost and fades into oblivion. You can prevent that from happening with your family through research and the documentation of as much information as you can discover about your ancestors. A remarkable amount of information from the past still exists and awaits discovery. Wherever your ancestors lived, they left traces that can be found through genealogy research.
Family genealogy is about the study of the lives of our ancestors. Learn what they knew, feel what they experienced, and form a connection to the lives of people who are a genetic part of you, but who you never met. The authors of the articles found on this website have each spent 30+ years studying genealogy and digging into the lives of those long gone. The knowledge we pass to you can help you with your quest to discover your family history and your roots.
Family history research is both an adventure and an unfinished puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle you discover leads to another piece, and another, and another. Learn how to find the traces left by your ancestors and how to preserve your family’s history and heritage for future generations.
We show you where to find archives of information, how to document and date old family photographs, and how to tell your family story.
Join us in our quest to discover the history and knowledge of those who came before us, and those whose lives led to our own.
