My Records and Their Records

Records are evidence that you lived in certain places at certain times. Records are an important part of family history.

Find your own personal records. A personal record could be an identification card, birth certificate, baptism certificate, report card, etc. What does each record tell you about yourself?
Why would family history be hard without any records?

On FamilySearch, find an ancestor you'd like to learn more about. Try to find a record about him or her. (Start by checking the Memories or Sources on his or her profile.) What can you learn just by looking at the record?

What event is the record about?
Where did he or she live? When did he or she live?
What was he or she doing at that time in life?
Who else is on the record?
