Many genealogists practice genealogy to leave a mark. The process is all about making a difference and transforming someone’s life. The elated expression on your face after finding the answers that you seek is what makes genealogy so special.
It is a practice that has been renowned across continents because it is the only certain way to find out who we truly are. It brings about relations of strong kin, unbreakable bonds and hearts flooded with the joy that comes with finally finding a loved one.
Genealogy is best reflected in preserving a close relatives’ legacy, abiding by family culture and finding living relatives. It also provides proof that shows we are indeed related to our family members, even those who came way before us.
Genealogy is fascinating, compelling and demands persistence and determination to find the answers that you seek; it defines you and me.
