Genealogical research of the birthplace of ancestors is an important component in genealogical search. When I worked on my search for ancestors, I had a question of where they came from, from which regions, where were they born? And how their family families united, intertwined. I learned about such places that I could not even think that my ancestors were born and lived there, my geographical map of places of birth turned out to be impressive. I was lucky to get old maps of the area of those times in which my great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers were born and lived. It is important to know what kind of land your kind comes from, what kind of land it is, what this or that land has suffered. What he gave to man, how he formed and tempered character.
In your genealogy book you can indicate the name of the village in which your ancestors were born. When this area was created and settled and how old is it. By studying the history of the area, you can find out how and why your ancestors were there, settled and took root.

You can also place photographs of the area in it, both modern and old, as a comparison, supplement the section with maps, historical chronicles, photographs of the church, monuments.
