Research Timeline: Cornelius Jones and Mary Calnan – my great grandparents
Another in the series of research timelines for my direct ancestors – great grandparents, 2x great grandparents, 3x great grandparents etc.
Timelines are an excellent research tool for genealogists, which I have been using for years. They have become part of my process of writing family stories. Before writing a family story to be published, I will always create a timeline first, so I have an overall view of the person’s life. This helps to give me guidance, as to the direction I’d like to take, and ensures I have time periods in the correct order. Depending on the project in mind, a timeline could be written about a family member’s entire life, or just a period in their life. For example, you may wish to write about your family members’ teenage years, or perhaps their life after 50. You could also make up a timeline for their military experience.
A timeline can be designed as a graph, or on a line across the page, or whichever way suits you best to display the information. For me, a timeline works best when it is done as a a graph. Because of the way my brain works, I find it easier to read and keep track of the information in this format. I call my timelines “Research Timelines” as they are never complete, and can always be referred to while researching, and added to when new information is received.
