CREATE YOUR OWN FAMILY TREE!

For a long time, you've dreamed of doing your genealogy and finding it through your family history. Genealogists are potential writers... As in any story, there are men and women, places and events. Whatever your motivation, as your research progresses you will discover the very essence of your existence, your history.  

The first stage This involves researching all the documents you can use to climb your ancestors' tree.
They form the backbone of a genealogy. They give the precise dates and places of birth, marriage and death of your ancestors.
You don't need to go very far: they can be found in your family environment: parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts... What are they?
