Читать книгу Start & Run a Personal History Business - Jennifer Campbell - Страница 14

Genealogy is not quite the same as personal history, at least the way I refer to personal history in this book. Genealogists research details and facts about deceased relatives to trace the family ancestry, while personal historians tell the stories of those who are still alive to tell the tale! You might say that genealogists answer the where, who, and when questions, while personal historians have the luxury of asking a living, breathing person the why, how, and what questions. Genealogists and personal historians have traditionally lived in separate camps, but both are beginning to realize they have a lot in common and are borrowing tips and techniques from each other. The result is family history projects with more depth, detail, and appeal.
