Genealogy & History

If you could travel back in time and live in a certain era (anywhere in the world), which one would you pick? What fascinates you about that time in history?

I want to document my family’s stories before it’s too late. How should I approach elderly relatives to ask about their memories without making it feel like an interrogation?

I’ve collected a lot of information about my ancestors—photos, documents, records—but it’s all over the place. What systems, tools, or apps do you use to keep your genealogy research tidy and easy to access?

Whether it’s a long-lost relative, a royal connection, or something scandalous—what did you find out while researching your ancestry that truly shocked or amazed you? I’d love to hear people’s wild or touching stories.

I want to trace my family history, but I only know the names of my grandparents. No documents, no records. What’s the best way to start digging into genealogy with so little info? Are there tools or websites that can help?
