Start building your family ancestry / Noryati Md Noor

Knowing your identity - Who are we? What are our family histories? Family histories you want to pass to your children so that they can pass to their children; and the pattern continues throughout the future generations. This study of our origins and those of our predecessors is known as genealogy. According to Else Churchill, a genealogist at the Society of Genealogists in London, in Campbell (2021) "Genealogy involves finding the relationships in your family and discovering who your ancestors are by using historical records and increasingly other resources to build up a story of your family." Stories of the hardships and successes of previous generations are shared to motivate present generations.
