Learning about your genealogy is important for many reasons, varying for each individual. Here is a list of just some of the reasons understanding your history (and the history of your ancestors) can be so crucial:
This is YOUR story. It is 100% unique, just like you. We look forward to helping you kickstart your family's ancestry story.
Genealogy is defined as: A line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor, i.e. the study and tracing of lines of descent.
And family history is defined as: The history of a family; a narrative about this. In later use also: the study of the history of a family or families; genealogy as an area of research.
This event is made possible through the support of the Winnebago & Boone Counties Genealogical Society.
