Welcome to ORIGIN. Your family story can start with one useful question.
Choose one person. Write down a name, an approximate date and a place. Then separate what a record shows from what you have only heard. Keep the source beside each clue.
Try this today: ask a relative about one old family photo. Who is pictured? Where and roughly when was it taken? Who kept it? What supports the story? Mark uncertain answers as uncertain.
We make practical digital guides about family history, ancestry DNA concepts and human history. Here, we will share small research prompts you can use straight away.
Save this for your next family conversation. — ORIGIN
