Tracing Generations Family Tree Through the Culture Genealogy Society

[Jane Tilly]

Who is who way back in the family tree. Look at the different
generations
When you start to look back down the family tree you can find many
surprises waiting for you. Some families have discovered that they
have American Indian ancestry many hundreds of years ago and had no
idea about it until someone began to search back. Although genealogy
can be a frustrating task at times when you hit a brick wall and
cannot find a little thread to carry you onto the next person it is so
worth persevering as such interesting facts can emerge.
A good site for helping you in your research is the Culture Genealogy
Society website which includes many links with other reputable sites
all over the world which specialize in the genealogy of different
cultures. For example there are sites on American Indian DNA
genealogy, and even European genealogy websites where you can retrace
who your ancestors.
Many of these websites will give you copies of original documents and
also a virtual family tree where you can trace your origins relatively
easily through a combination of DNA information and surname/dates/
occupation research.
It is a painstaking task to reconstruct a family tree but one where
you will have quite an adventure as you find out the trials and
tribulations of the family members you find. Did they rise to the
occasion when times were tough or did they sink? Did they do acts of
heroism or did they tend to keep their heads down and survive? Just
for a laugh and to give an example of how interlinked families can be
ex-president Bush is a very distant cousin to his political rival John
Kerry and he is also a distant cousin of Hugh Hefner who founded the
Playboy Empire.
So tracking back through the generations is a fun and fascinating
activity and you may well find that you are related to someone famous
or that you have relatives from some very different culture that you
had no idea about.
The Culture Genealogy Society website will provide you with many
different kinds of information from which you can pick up clues about
the generations before you in your family and is well worth a visit.
