Real-life stories
Family history is all about the stories – the tales of our own ancestors’ life experiences, their adventures, triumphs and tragedies. By researching our family trees and tracking down the historic records we can uncover the past, learn about the times that our forebears lived through, and ultimately discover who they were, and where we’ve come from. Check out our growing collection of real-life family history stories written by readers of Family Tree. Hopefully their inspiring examples will encourage you too to write up your own family history...
