Genealogy is a popular hobby for people of all ages. It can be really rewarding and really frustrating! And it is a pastime you can dip in and out of as you have time and inspiration.
The terms ‘genealogy’ and ‘family history’ are often used interchangeably. However, ‘genealogy’ refers to the research and investigation involved in determining factual details about your ancestors – their names, dates of birth, marriage and death, etc. ‘Family history’ refers to the research into the details of their lives. These kinds of details might be found in photos, personal diaries, letters, war records, etc.
