Good afternoon all,
hope your Sunday lunch is now going down nicely!
I've recently bought "Tracing your family tree" by Anthony Adolph. This may be blindingly obvious to many of you, but I'd never heard of a "prose account" family history.eg I quote: " John Fairfax was born in 1710, four years before the death of Queen Anne.. Growing up in rural Suffolk, he was variously described as a grocer and draper.." etc etc.
Has anyone done their tree like this, and, if so, how? Do you dedicate a page to each person, and is yours a written narrative or kept as a word document or similar somewhere to update as and when, and how have you included photos & paper evidence if it's on the computer.
It's made me want to go right back to myself & start all over again, if you see what I mean.
ps Sorry if I'm being thick ( again) and everyone else has been doing this for the last 20 years!
