Your family research will be more effective and interesting when you understand the history of their times. Learning about wars, governments, laws, migrations, and religious trends may help you understand political boundaries, family movements, and settlement patterns. Your ancestors may become more interesting to you if you also use histories to learn about the events that were of interest to them or that they may have been involved in.


County and town histories often include biographical sketches of local residents, or mention military units in which they served. This may be one of the best sources of information for some families. {{Adoption TNGenWeb}}
