Pictures into Family Stories
How do I begin to blog about my method of madness that resulted in my family stories?
How did I put together stories that threaded through my genealogy and history over several generations? Though my Chong history can be traced back more than a millennium, I have only been able to go back into the recent past of the last two centuries. My journey gifted me a deeper appreciation of the times, locales, events, and personalities that shaped who I am.
That’s my goal for the next few months. Not to go over the stories, Not to talk about my family. Instead I wish to impart what I learned in my ongoing journey to gather, document, and revel my family history. Much of this effort has taken many years, beginning when I passed sixty years old. Wish I started earlier, much earlier. However, no matter where you stand in your search, you can tag along and learn some lessons, as I have sifted through a distant past.
