Histories and journals of my ancestors are some of my most treasured possessions. Here are tips to get you started finding histories and journals-
- Go about 2-4 generations out in your tree
- Look at their profiles on FamilySearch- If a history/journal has been uploaded it will be under Sources or Memories.
- Ask relatives for them - scan and upload to FamilySearch. (Example: my father has the histories of his parents)
- Google search using the name and adding life history and/or journal (Ex: Ryan Archibald life history)
Websites to start your search-
- FamilySearch Catalogue and Books
- dupinternational.org
- sonsofutahpioneers.org
- history.lds.org
