The history of the family is inextricably linked to the area where they live. A local history museum and books about the history of your native land can help supplement your family tree book.
Historical events in the state had a huge impact on the history of the family (perhaps not obvious at first glance). The genealogist needs to understand the intricacies of history and learn what orders and laws came out during the period of interest, what taxes were levied on his ancestors, how the ancestors reacted to events (participation in riots, rallies, wars, revolutions, etc.)
Family traditions
Genealogy allows the preservation of family traditions, multiplying them with each new generation. Families with no common interests, no traditional rituals, in the genealogical system quickly lose their ties when a central figure is lost.
For example, there is a parental home where children come and family celebrations take place. If family members are not united by something more than just such rare gatherings, then with the death of one or both parents, the connection between the grown children and their descendants will be severed (if not in this generation, then in the next).
That is why it is so important to bring up children in their family on the commonality and unity of the family, where each relative is important, because he or she is a part of the huge family tree. It is important to maintain the established family traditions of both families (husband and wife), to create their own, to preserve and pass on to descendants the material and moral values of the ancestors.
It is important to realize that your family tree will never be 100% explored. You can’t get as far as Adam or Neanderthals. The family tree of each family tree is all but a fragment of one huge tree.
Every genealogist arrives at a historical period beyond which one can no longer step. Because there are no sources of genealogical information about the family. This boundary appears for some in the 18th century, and for others in the 16th century. Unfortunately, this situation is irreparable, such documents will never appear again, which means you have to be content with what you have.
You should not get hung up on the size of the family tree. Even 5-10 generations is a lot. If you write a little life story for each of your direct ancestors, you will get a huge book about the family.
It is important for every family tree researcher to appreciate and share what is found and heard. After all, what you have is the truest family, and you don’t need another.
