Biography[edit | edit source]
A biography is a history of a person's life. In a biography you may find information about a person's birth, marriage, and death, as well as the names of parents, children, or other family members. Biographies often include photographs, family traditions and stories, and clues about an ancestor's place of origin, residences, military service, and community activities. The information must be used carefully, however, because there may be inaccuracies.
Family Information An individual's family can be an important source of biographical information. Contact family members for unpublished life histories they may know of. Write down genealogical information, life stories, and memories collected from those family members.
Compiled Biographies[edit | edit source]
Hundreds of brief biographical sketches have been collected and published in compiled biographies, sometimes called biographical dictionaries. These collections most often include biographies of early settlers and well-known citizens of a particular country, state, or community. Others feature biographies of ecclesiastical leaders, military men, politicians, writers, or other prominent individuals. An example of a compiled biography for Venezuela is:
Sáenz de la Calzada, Carlos and Cárdenas Ramírez, Julio. Diccionario biográfico de Venezuela. Madrid, España: Blass, S. A. Tipográfica, 1953. (FHL INTL Book 987 D3d).
