Family History

This consists in reconstructing the daily lives of ancestors on the basis of various information sources: notarial records, census, legal documents, newspapers, and so forth. The researcher can then write a text about a family and distribute it to local genealogical societies and to other family members or post it on a Web site. We are referring to Family Histories that can be described in an article in a genealogical society newsletter or in a book comprising several volumes.
