Note them for future interest, while keeping on track with the line you began with. That alone will give you a room with empty walls to fill with family revelations. Notes are usually made separately and linked to an individual.<br /><br />Currently, both hubby and ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-78664955591109082572011-03-06T00:30:35.449-08:002011-03-06T00:30:35.449-08:00ZACL,

I've been just following one keyword after another since my aunt has given me more names and details.<br /><br />In your case, it sounds very complicated.

I think there were tremendous competition behind filial piety, honor, and success. My mother used to say often, “House used to be the most important concept.” Now I understand her words better.

I don't know the name of the old family temple, but if I want to find out about the ancestors further, I think I can. But I don't know if I want to do more research. When I find some interesting info., some negative information come with it. It makes me think a lot which is not a bad thing, but I don't want to get keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-73542334265541476782011-03-02T03:56:55.119-08:002011-03-02T03:56:55.119-08:00Keiko, many persons are not interested in family h...Keiko, many persons are not interested in family history when they are young but get interested when they get older. All your work will be helpful to them then, especially if you preserve a hard copy.<br /><br />In India the goverment does not do a good job of keeping family records but we have a system of priests who mantain records for families over many geneartions.

I think it's enough if I write this and that about our family once in a while. My children are busy and do not show much interest. But if I died, they wouldn't be able to research on their own. <br /><br />In India, do you keep a good family records?
