Genealogy, the value of adding context

Genealogy is much more than just tracing back to your family tree, it is about discovering your heritage, knowing the story of your roots, and possibly finding more about your genes from medical perspectives too. Anticipating about your family roots is not just a learning experience, but it’s also a way to reconnect to your past. Mississippi genealogy will take you through the road of time and across continents.

Most people who research their families often begin with their parents or grandparents and gradually move backward through time. They often forget the fact that one of the most important things about the history of a family is documentation and keeping the record for the generations to come.

We all carry, inside us, people who came before us. – Liam Callanan

The first step towards documenting your past is to gather what past generations had left behind – Memories. The way to begin is to drag out heavy boxes full of photographic gems that are buried in the closet under piles of dust. You will be surprised to see how you’re your younger one resembles your great grandfather, and your sister has the same hair as your great-grandaunt. Once you pull out this picture coffin, it will suddenly become a Mississippi Genealogy department of your own in your living room, and the ancestral stories and flickered memories will begin to unfold.

Dig up those slides, prints, and negatives out into the light. The photo album with rusted rings, the clunky quilted scrapbooks, the plastic crumbled pages pulling apart; the envelopes, the biscuit cartons, the shoeboxes; we are going to bring all your precious memories to life again in a digital format. All of these past memories need your attention. At Scan South, we will preserve your memories to last a lifetime. You will feel contented to spread the wealth of history, realizing the worth of your many generations.
