Why family history is important (and interesting!)
Family history is more than just a list of names and dates. It's the story of who we are and where we came from.
Understanding our family history can give us a sense of identity and belonging, and it can help us understand the world around us.
Family history is also interesting! Learning about our ancestors can be fascinating, and it can give us a window into the past.
At the NGS conference, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experts on how to find, preserve, and share your family history. You can also browse the exhibitor hall for resources that can help you in your research.
