There are two other people in the family that have put together family trees. I stated one about two weeks ago and have found two more generations that were not in their trees. So for just starting I think I'm doing all right. I find my family tree to be full of interesting facts and for me it's important to find out as much information as possible.
WHAT IS A BACKGROUND
Next time your feeling rater unimportant try a little arithmetic based on the undebatable fact that it took two peopl, to get you here. Each of your parents has two parents, so in the generations just prior to that of your mother and father, thare were four whose pairing off and sharing love contributed to your existence.
You are the product of eight great grandparents etc. Keep on multiplying the number by two. If your figure an average of about 25yrs. between each generation, you'll discover that a scant 500yrs. ago, there were 1,048,576 people on this earth beginning the production of you.
