A few weeks ago this article was featured on BBC. I loved it. Without doing any long-term studies, I already knew about the mental health benefits of knowing your family story. Enjoy this read. No matter what your family background might be, I guarantee there are inspiring stories. I come from a long line of tough pioneer women. I have so many poor immigrants in my history. My genealogy is full of “normal people” who quietly lived their lives. Their combined extraordinary efforts made it so I can have a pretty fantastic life today.
