Personal history is the study of a single family member’s history over an extended period. A personal history preserves milestones of your life and how you relate to those loved ones around you. Examples of personal history products include: a memoir focused on a particular time; an autobiography capturing the full spectrum of a life; life stories that bring a family tree to life; or a history of a group told from the point of view of the people involved.
