NOW IS THE TIME TO START YOUR FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH
(PLEASE NOTE MY WORDS)
Now is the time to start researching your own family history don't put it off till tomorrow as all to often it can be to-late.
I hear the same sentence over and over again during the course of my genealogical research
I WISH I HAD ASKED MY FAMILY
But sadly now they are no longer here now I will never know the answers to my family questions I much wanted to ask.
Everyone should sit down NOW and talk to their older family members. These senior family members will really love to tell you the story of their lives and details of your own family history believe me their memories are priceless family records.
Be patient and go through each of the family photo albums with them, note on the back of each interesting photo the details of the photo's content i.e. names, dates and places.
Don't' wait this must be done now this family history research process is not just for yourself but for your families generations that are yet to come.
Most of my own family are now sadly away but I still come across old photo's of Hextall family members and I don't have a clue who they are so I learnt my rules above the hard way.
