The Answers to Life Questions are Sometimes Found in Family History

Why do you tolerate a mean-spirited spouse?  Why do you live where you live?  Why do you react to a partner like you do?  Why do you treat children and grandchildren in the way that you do? Where did you receive your teachings on how to love, communicate, and care for another?  The answers to these questions and more can be found when you look back on the history of those who came before you.

Drunks, adulterers, gamblers, addicts, pedophiles, abusers and more destroy families!

Ancestry is not to be taken lightly it molds and shapes the present and the future with good, bad and ugly.  As much as we think we are filtering out the bad, we could very well be guilty of passing on some mess from the past without even knowing it!

If one doesn't get things understood within and around his or herself, the person and his or her offspring will only infiltrate yet another generation of dysfunctional programming.  Careful what you say and do to a partner, children are watching.  Watch how you communicate with other kinfolk, sons and daughters are watching--sometimes what goes around, comes back around!  What might feel comfortable and normal to you may not be to the majority.  Have you ever bothered to ask, "How do I make you feel?"  What one reasons is okay to discuss or do in front of children may not be.

Family roots are like flower roots when you dig a hole and drop a plant in the ground eventually the roots will get bigger and longer and grow deep within the soil.  What kind of dirt might be found in your family that is impacting you and others?  What are you and others using to fertilize, water, and weed?  Something to think about.

When I wrote the how-to guide, Genealogy X What to Expect When Researching Family History, I recognized some patterns that continue to come up with each passing generation within my own family.  I also observed family secrets that weren't so secretive and through my research I found that if one doesn't address concerns and receive some understanding about the who, what, when, why, where and how of his or her life, there will be more of the same. 

Don't take family history lightly, a generation could be easily cursed for lack of knowledge.  Start researching today! For a limited time only use coupon code PM62D Genealogy X What to Expect When Researching Family History.
