This book serves as both an instructional manual and a philosophical commentary on the pursuit of family history, detailing the proper methods and the significance of tracing one's ancestry. Allaben emphasizes the appeal of genealogy as an engaging hobby that offers satisfaction and contributes to the historical record. In this work, Allaben outlines the various elements involved in genealogical research, including gathering information from family sources, utilizing historical records, and compiling findings into readable formats. He introduces specific methodologies, such as the "Grafton Plan," which focuses on tracing direct lines of descent rather than merely recording all descendants of a common ancestor. The book also discusses the challenges faced during research, the joy of discovery, and the importance of maintaining accurate records and references. By encouraging readers to document their family histories with care, Allaben aims to elevate the practice of genealogy into a respected scholarly pursuit, going beyond simple names and dates to explore the rich narratives connected to one's ancestry.
