Writing a Family History Blog

[chiddicks]

I have decided to start writing a family history blog to record my own family tree, to promote interest in our hobby, and to hopefully find people with similar interests to my own. I have shared the links below. Any comments and feed back are most welcome, both positive and negative. Please feel free to comment on the blog pages as well.


I have also started writing a blog for Family History Magazine, see link below

In some cases yes, because we never learn from it. !

 

[chiddicks]

The key thing is that we learn from the mistakes of others. To continue to make the same mistakes would be a crime. History is their to teach us and shape us, it shouldn't be there necessary as a stick to beat us with.

 

[p.risboy]

I agree.....but the same mistakes are being made, and it's the fact that others don't know their history.
The stick is still be used, but again.......no one bothers to check the historical stick waving.

 

[chiddicks]

We can’t shape the history of what went before us, all we can do is shape our future history and be a part of creating a better world………..if thats possible!
