Don't throw that away!⠀ It can sometimes be difficult to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. This is true for a lot of situations in life – including genealogy. Things get harder when you are assigned the task of going through a deceased family member’s belongings. There are some things that genealogists should not throw away without taking a close look at it first. ⠀ ⠀ #genealogy #history #heirlooms #relatives #records #ancestors #familytree ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/Dont_throw_away
Delayed Birth Certificates ⠀ ⠀ Some of the basic information you want on each ancestor is the birthday, marriage date and death date. The one which can prove to be the most different is a birth date.⠀ ⠀ You would think, just get a copy of the birth certificate from the state the person was born in. Not so easy, especially if you don't know where the person was born. ⠀ ⠀ #birthdate #birthcertificate #vitalrecords #familytree #genealogy #research #ancestors ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/Delayed_Birth_Cert⠀
Xmas - Origin ⠀ ⠀ Many people today prefer that the holiday be written out as 'Christmas' but there a long standing tradition of using the 'X'. In 1436 Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press with movable type. In the early days of printing typesetting was done by hand and was very tedious and expensive. As a result, abbreviations were common. It first was used as a replacement for Christmas in between 1460s and into the 1500s, when printing long words came at a premium cost everywhere. ⠀ ⠀ #xmas #history #origin #heritage#holidays #family #familytree #genealogy #Christmas ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/Origin_Xmax

Hometown Traditions at Christmas Time ⠀ ⠀ Just like our ancestors had different traditions and customs within their own family, so would each hometown vary in how their celebrated the holidays. One tradition that is found throughout the decades in the 20th and into the 21st centuries is that of Christmas parades, many of which have carried on this traditions for 60 plus years. There will be the local high school bands playing plus a variety of floats making their way down the parade route. Your relatives and ancestors more than likely participated in the parade or at least stood along the sidelines to watch the festivities. ⠀ ⠀ #tradition #holidays #Christmas #parades #familystories ⠀ #familyhistory#genealogy ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/Hometown_Traditions

Foods of Our Ancestors ⠀ ⠀ Since food and eating of meals is essential for life, no matter which century, it is fascinating to look back at different time periods to see what might have been typical food dishes for our ancestors. By examining the 18th century (1700s) food time line, we can better see the types of food and meals available for our relatives. Many of these same dishes continued during most of the 19th century also. ⠀ ⠀ #ancestors #traditions #foods #familyhistory #familytree #genealogy⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/Foods_Ancestors

Chart to Figure Birth Years| The early United States Censuses (1790-1840) did not place a person’s age, rather an age range. So it can be difficult to figure the approximate year when a person was born. The Colonial Roots online site has done up a chart to assist you to figure those birth years. ⠀ ⠀ #census #genealogy #familytree #birthyear #ancestors ⠀ ⠀ http://bit.ly/BirthYear_Chart
