FAMILY HISTORY

Line In an age which technology is developed faster than ever before, many people are
1 being attracted by the idea of looking back into the past. One way they can make
2 this is by investigating their own family history. They can try to find out more
3 about what their families came from and what they did. This is now a fast-growing
4 hobby, especially in countries with a fairly short history, alike Australia and the
5 United States.
6 It is one thing to spend some time going through a book on family history and to
7 take the decision to investigate your own family’s past. It is quite another to carry
8 out the research work successfully. It is easy to set about it in a disorganizing way
9 and cause yourself many problems that could have avoided with a little forward
10 planning.
11 If your own family stories say you that you are connected with a famous character,
12 whether hero or criminal, not to let this idea take over your research. Just treat it
13 as an interesting possibility. A simple system for collecting and storing your
14 information will be adequate to start with; a more complex one may only get in
15 your way. The most important thing, though, is to get starting. Who knows what
you might find?
