FACT: Genealogy is the STORY of our ancestors, our FAMILY. It is NOT simply a series of names and dates. In order to better uncover the story of our ancestors lives, sometimes it helps to understand the history of what was going on where they lived. It may explain WHY they moved to that place, or why they moved away from it. Knowing the history of our ancestors lives helps to bring their story to life, and provides clues to help us find MORE information about them.

Not being historians ourselves, we compile a selection of history, using a variety of online and print sources, such as Encyclopaedia Britannica, Compton's Encyclopedia, and Wikipedia. We hope these historical compiliations are helpful in providing research clues and understanding of how your ancestors lived.
