Knowing your ancestry is more than just collecting names and entering them on a chart. It’s about discovering and telling the stories of those whose traditions, characteristics, and stuff we have inherited. An individual’s memories are based on unique, individual experience, however, our memories are strengthened, shaped and coloured by our recollections, stimulated by stories, images, objects and places. As we recall and retell our memories, these memories form a piece in the larger story of who we are. Identifying these images and objects, and finding our places, therefore become a vital part of understanding why we are the way we are.

While it is an accompaniment to the Family History; A Different Focus’ workshops, the workbook stands alone as an invaluable guide to the how, when, where, what and why of Family History for the beginner.
