The study of family history goes beyond genealogy . It is the study of the lives of the individuals that make up the family tree. It puts meat on the bone, you might say. What were their health issues? Did they have any special interest? Were they founding members of the country, state, or community? Did they fight in wars? If so, what were their contributions? These are some of the interesting stories and facts that come from the study of family histories!
Online Resources

Today's social networks like GenealogyWise, Geni, and Ancestry.com make the study of one's family history more enjoyable then ever before. Family stories can be shared with others at lightening speeds. Questions can be answered. Those all important clues are there to be found.
