Probably more than one granddaughter regretted that when her grandmother was still alive, she never took the time to talk to her about the family history. Or didn't pay much attention to her grandmother's stories. The granddaughter didn't have time. She wanted to live in the here and now, to try new things, not to miss any parties, dances and other pleasures. After all, thinks every granddaughter, looking at her mother or grandmother, or even an older sister, it will be a little while, and she will be over 25 and she will be an old woman. But come the "scary" 25, the grandmother is gone. The only questions left are the ones that no one else can answer.
Family history is roots, it is origins, it is patterns of behavior, it is character, it is habits and predilections. It is, finally, destiny. Who were those who are long gone, but who left their indelible mark in DNA and karma? Often I think: what can I tell my children and grandchildren about their origins? There is only one way - to start compiling a family tree. Of course, this task requires a lot of research, digging through archives, talking to other relatives, looking at old photos and much more, which can take a lot of time.
Do not despair and do not give up. A unique project "Ancestral Tree" has been created and is successfully working on the Internet. The project, at the head of which is one single goal: unification and strengthening of the family, search and revival of family values. This is the starting point for the creation of completely new relationships in the family. After all, if the family is not fragmented, if all family members have one goal, which implies constant communication, this is the key to the revival of a friendly family, where one for all and all for one.
At the same time, one should not turn the process of compiling a genealogical tree into a kind of game. After all, for centuries and millennia, people have closely observed the life path of all family members. Sometimes the genealogical tree has its roots in the deep antiquity. This was possible only if parents and grandparents attracted the interest of their frivolous grandchildren to talk about the life of their ancestors. Children were instilled with a sense of pride in their loved ones from childhood. Of course, these conversations emphasized, first of all, to find out their belonging to a noble family. In the old days it was especially important to gain authority in the society.
In the modern world it is no longer so relevant. However, everyone wants to get answers to the question: "Who am I? Who were my ancestors? How did they live? What was their fate?". After all, sometimes, we know more about the pedigrees of our animals than we do about our origins.
