Genealogy Toolbox contains information essential to understanding the genealogical records of our ancestors and immigrant American families.
Assembling a Life Sketch is similar to a project. One gathers the supplies, all the genealogical records and data that can be found. Then using a blueprint or design, the context, begins to assemble the genealogy record pieces. The tools in the toolbox are the implements used to assemble the supplies and build the final product, a life sketch.
