History of a Place That Means a Lot to a Family

Create a story of a meaningful place that matters to your family.

Our ancestors did live in a certain place and time, which affected their lives and work. There are a number of ways which can be used to find more information about their residences and could help us to understand a little of why they did what they did. Even a “summer” place allows a family to see one another though they may be widely scattered. There are more tools to do this easily than ever before. Examples are given from the speaker’s own life.
