What is My Heritage?: Ancestor Collector series for beginners; 4 generations – me, my parents, my grandparents and my great grandparents

Want to learn about your heritage? Start here. Use this genealogy journal to record how you want to be remembered, stories about your parents, photos of your grandparents and memories of their parents and times gone by. Start by filling out the name of your direct ancestors on the family chart. Then, find pictures of each person, find their page and add the photograph. When there is no picture, ask if there are letters or other personal effects from that person. From there, find out when and where they were born and married. For any ancestors who have passed away, find out when and where they died and where they are buried. Consider a free search on Find-a-Grave and FamilySearch to fill in information that your family does not know. If you have met some of your ancestors you can write your own memories of them yet remember to talk to them too and let them tell you stories. You’ll be happy if you record memories of grandparents before they fade. And, they’ll have stories about their parents; your great grandparents. This will take you back four generations in the past! With four generations of information, you can learn the answers to: How did my grandparents meet? Who are my great grandparents? Were they farmers, tradespeople or gentry? Where did my ancestors migrate from? What is my heritage? This book is for beginner genealogists, grandparents creating a keepsake memory box for grandchildren and for the casual family historian and storyteller.
