Introduction
"If you can understand the forces which shaped men's lives then you can better understand those men."
Val Greenwood
This interpretation of family history fits squarely with the view that all family history is contextual, i.e., it cannot be
viewed in isolation or separated from its historical framework. At its root, genealogy satisfies basic human
curiosity. It summarizes the questions of the past, the present and a look of what will shape the future.
