Family History

　　In an age when technology is developing faster than ever before, many people are being attracted(吸引) to the idea of looking back into the past. One way they can do this is by investigating(调查，研究) their own family history. They can try to find(找出) out more about where their families came from and what they did, This is now a fast-growing hobby, especially in countries with a fairly(相当) short history, like Australia and the United States.

　　It is one(一方面) thing to spend some time going(探究) through a book on family history and to take the decision(决心) to investigate your own family's past. It is quite(的确) another to carry out(完成) the research work successfully. It is easy to set about(开始做(某事)) it in a disorganized(扰乱,瓦解) way and cause(引起) yourself many problems which could have been avoided(避免) with a little forward planning.

　　If your own family stories tell you that you are connected(有关系) with a famous character, whether hero or criminal(罪犯), do not let this idea take over(接管) your research. Just treat(当作) it as an interesting possibility(可能的事). A simple system for(用) collecting and storing your information will be adequate(充足的，适当的) to start with; a more complex(错综复杂的) one may only get in your way(道路). The most important thing, though, is to get(被) started. Who knows what you might(可能) find ?

家族史

　　在科技空前发展的时代，当下很多人对回首往事沉迷不已。回首过去的一种方法是研究各自的家族历史。人们试图查明更多的历史，例如，他们的家族来自哪里，他们以什么为生。这已经成为一种快速增长的业余爱好，特别是有相当短历史的国家，如澳大利亚、美国。

　　花费时间去查阅一本有关家族史的书，并促使你去探究家族的过去是一方面，成功地实施这项研究工作却是另一方面。杂乱无序地开始很容易。但如果开始有一点点计划，就能避免引起那么多麻烦。

　　如果你家族的故事写着你与某个名人有着一定的关系，不论是英雄或者罪人，都不要让这个话题替代了你的研究。把它当成一个有趣的可能事件再好不过。用一个简单的系统来搜集和存储信息足以让你有个好的开头，越复杂的方式可能只会扰乱你的方寸。尽管开头是最重要的事情，但谁知道你会发现什么呢?
