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.
