USING TIMELINES FOR FAMILY HISTORY
Timelines are a great idea for organising your family history information. They can help locate your ancestor at a given time/ place and help you understand your ancestor’s life. There might be events that affected your family. They can show you what records, etc. you might be missing. You can use timelines to analyze the records you have found. 10am – 11am |
