Incorporating Oral History into Your Research

Unlock Hidden Treasures: Explore the Power of Oral History in Genealogical Research

What You Will Learn

Oral history can dramatically enhance your genealogical research. Not only can it provide you with names, dates of life events, and places, these narratives can reveal motives for migration, explanations of brief marriages, or descriptions of an ancestor’s personality. Oral histories can offer information that traditional records may not provide.
