I hope you have taken some time or plan to set aside some time to work through the other episodes and grab a notebook and maybe even a box to gather your genealogy information in one spot. And you might be thinking to yourself, what’s next? Well, you will find that researching your family tree will open up a lot of doors. And each door gives you an opportunity to explore!
Why do families Americanize their names? I think each family has their reasons – sometimes it has to do with fitting in a little better in the “new land”. But, it also might have come about in order to separate themselves from the other branch of the family.
I want to encourage you to seek out the oldest member of your blood relatives and ask them the same questions that you had to answer in the Part 1 of the icipici edition of Hungarian Living podcast on Getting Started with Genealogy.
Once you start working on your grandparents and learning about their family of origin, you are starting to make connections with extended family. Are there people who are alive and in your family tree but you haven’t hardly heard a thing about them? Sometimes family members get lost when there is a death or divorce, but sometimes there are family disagreements.
Episode 53 Today’s assignment on the Icipici Edition of the Hungarian Living Podcast is for you to track down the birth and death locations of the people you listed in Part I. If you missed that assignment, here is a link to that first podcast in this series....
Knowing the religious affiliation of your people is important for a number of reasons, and particularly when you are trying to look through church records. Sometimes cemeteries are designated by religious affiliation.
Knowing birth and death dates is important for genealogy work. And sometimes it just offers you interesting information.
Whether or not you are into genealogy, there are some things you should write down for other generations. If you don’t have kids or siblings, it is still important. Why? Because you probably have first, second, or third cousins or other family members who may need or want the information, they just don’t know it yet. And, let me tell you, no one knows your own family details like you do! But, even if there is no one else in your family to share the information with, your story is important!
In this episode of the Hungarian Living podcast I visit with Cindy Dobo of Dobo’s Delights, a bakery based in Piqua, Ohio but that ships around the U.S.
