*We need family history more than ever. Knowing, recording, and preserving your family history directly impacts you, your family, and even future generations of people you may never know. It can be a powerful antidote against adverse life experiences that we face today, giving us a stronger understanding of who we are and motivating us to deepen our roots for generations to come.

The way we relate to our family stories and create our own narratives about ourselves helps establish our unique, authentic core identity.

Learning the history of our ancestors helps us gain a greater understanding of the challenges they faced, and it often inspires greater love and compassion for their flaws and mistakes. This compassion can easily translate to our relationships with the living, within our families and outside them. We all face hard things. Remembering that fact in the context of others’ shortcomings allows us to be better spouses, parents, children, siblings, and human beings.

That is my take on family ancestry....
