Some people are gone, but their characters in the stories of children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. The “remember when” stories that you never tire of hearing. Saturated every narrator a little color, pageantry, the spin and embellishment of their own telling of the story added.
Given the opportunity to write or record these stories and anecdotes, before they lost forever in the minds of older people and those who have died. Take responsibility and become the archivist of family and the community of historians.
Missions of the genealogy can be addictive. With the use of computers and some very good genealogy web sites and software for the hours a person can be immersed for a name. In the search will certainly open doors more than expected, ready to find information about the family and, yes, my friends, can be shocking, ridiculous, and probably a surprise to the blind side of certain facts can be least expected. I urge you to look with an open mind.
Confirm the accuracy of the traditional stories can be a difficult task and should work with dignity and professionalism in dealing with other people, especially the older members of families or communities are treated. The older members of the family and the community can not understand why it is necessary to share information about the days when they were young. Regardless of whether the interviewer is a member of the family or not, many veterans who categorically refuse to provide information that has been dug up and discuss on confirmation. Often than not, that have kept the information to talk in confidence about the event and in his mind, about people, it would be a betrayal of trust. Older generations were loyal to their family and friends and believe that the know, or what they have said in confidence is not something that companies are not involved. They believe that it is not the place to present the facts, no matter what is the public history. This is an admirable confidence and must be respected, if you go looking for data, it is best to understand that trust, to ensure that nobody is offended. However, this is a barrier to try to check the data that have been discovered.
Please be advised of weapons when it comes to people who do not want to give the facts to be. Be prepared with questions that the story in question can rock. Ask questions like “Did you know that?” “I do not live on the street next to you-so?” “Not with the name of Cousin Tom?” It is not clever or try to get information from someone who does not want. It is a way to support the information you have received elsewhere. Get answers to these questions by someone who lived during this time is the best way to include information about their family history. The UN issues may also encourage the respondent to offer responsibility to know about the family and the neighborhood. With these events came together recently, the doors in search of the history of the family or community are also other ways to keep doors open to low
