Research A-Z ~ Journey

For the month of April, we have highlighted some of the 225+ genealogy and research courses offered at The International Institute for Genealogical Studies. There are a variety of themes and topics to choose from. Hopefully, we will feature some courses that you were not aware of and pique your interest to explore further.

Genealogical Research from A to Z

J is for JOURNEY

The story of our ancestors’ lives is a journey, oftentimes quite literally. Many families have not stayed in the same location for hundreds of years. They emigrated, immigrated, migrated, or simply relocated. Their lives were a journey as circumstances prompted them to make changes, sometimes affecting the generations following. These changes make their stories interesting, but they may also create challenges. Following their migration routes gives us a glimpse into the transitions they faced, and helps us to understand their life experiences.

It is best to customize your research to the locations and countries where they travelled within their lifetime. In our country-specific record courses, you will explore many resources available for your research projects. These could include border crossings, passenger lists, immigration records, naturalization or citizenship records, and records of specific settlements with the founding families. 

Your best resources will be maps and gazetteers. Learn all you can about each location and the transportation available for that time period, as well as the conditions they faced. Gather maps for every location in the timeframe relating to your ancestors’ journey. Also learn about specific groups of immigrants, who may be well-documented, and where to locate their records.

Researching our ancestors is the beginning of a fascinating journey to your family’s past

Research A-Z 

Many researchers find themselves on a journey of discovery as they trace their ancestors’ lives. There are so many forgotten tales of adventure and bravery, transition and overcoming challenges. Their stories deserve to be documented, shared, and especially, remembered. Seek out the stories of your family, and just perhaps, you will walk where they walked one day, and as you do, you will remember the journey they took and honour them there.
