2 Look For Change

Take a good look at your family tree. Have families moved? Have people changed profession? It’s always worth trying to investigate the underlying reasons for these changes. Spend a bit of time researching the industry, or try to find out if there was economic migration to or from the area. Sometimes people moved to be nearer family members, but was there a particular reason? The census is a great tool for exploring your family history, but if there are notable changes between one census and the next, there may be a story there that’s worth exploring.
