Genealogy and Family History

Several days of the year, as well as months, are dedicated to the hobby of genealogy and family history. These days reminds us of the importance of our ancestors and also inspires us to research our family tree.

They encourage us to connect and re-connect with family and also friends where we can use these occasions to learn ‘new’ branches and relatives in our family tree.

But also we can hear ‘new‘ stories, tales and anecdotes.

While researching we may discover new records, documents, old family photographs and also maybe newspaper articles featuring our ancestors.
