REVISION NOTES: Overall, I need to see some discussions of different methods of family history and your opinion on them. Family trees? Oral history? DNA testing? I think clarifying what you want to focus on will help you argue beyond the importance of including individuals into our understanding of history. – Family history also has a long history, right? Clarify what you mean by conventional history. Are you talking about inclusion of family history into “conventional history” (i.e., used as academic source or museum exhibits, etc.?) – I want to see a more detailed engagement with the academic article. What is your take on genetic ancestry, which is the main topic of the article? – Your paragraphs tend to be short. Consider combining them.
