Element I: Family Heritage

Ancestry refers to the past generations of family members from which you descend. Your ancestors are those family members especially having lived before your grandparents. The study of your birth lineage beginning with yourself, and tracing back through your parents and further back into the past is called genealogy.

Genealogy is the study of family history. It is a record or table of the descent of a family through its members from an ancestor or ancestors. The study of our family's ancestry is an important part of your practice of LIFECRAFT which can span many fascinating years of discovery and adventure. Some of the interesting things you will explore are our family tree, our family history, family legends and deeds.

Our family tree is a chart which visually represents our family's ancestry by connecting each family member to one another back through each preceding generation. As the family tree grows so will your appreciation for the rich heritage that is yours by birth into our family.

Our family's history is the story of the lives of our ancestors -- human beings who endured trials and celebrated achievements which may have left marks not only on our lives, their descendants, but on the lives of others as well. Many little known and long forgotten secrets and fortunes have been uncovered after many centuries by family members who studied their ancestry.

A necessary requirement to become a master craftsperson of life, is that you must be well acquainted with the family's ancestry, and you must contribute to its preservation for future generations. This is the knowledge and responsibility of the master LIFECRAFT practitioner. To further your learning, go to the Ancestry website now.
