He holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America. He is a faculty member of the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University in Birmingham\, Alabama; the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy; and Boston University’s Genealogical Research Program. Professor Colletta also has been an instructor and course coordinator for the National Institute on Genealogical Research\, the Genealogical Institute of Texas\, and the Genealogical Institute of Mid-America.  \n\n\n\nHow to Build Historical ContextThe lives of your ancestors provide all of the elements of engaging true stories. The challenge is to narrate the facts you’ve discovered within the larger physical and temporal world in which they were once lived events. If you want to get to know your ancestors\, you must see them as real people living in a particular place at a particular time. In other words\, the biographical facts you gather must be situated in their proper historical context. As we build historical context in this lecture\, you’ll see how all the sources we’ve been discussing come into play. \n\n\n\nCase Study:Let’s imagine that you’re researching the Steiner family of Vicksburg\, Mississippi. You’ve gotten back to your great-great-grandfather\, Jacob Steiner. In the library\, you come across a compilation of transcribed records called Marriages and Deaths from Mississippi Newspapers\, 1850–1861. In it\, you find a marriage that fits into your family tree: “Married at the residence of Jacob Morris\, Esq.\, in this city\, January 19th\, 1860\, by L. S. Houghton\, Judge of the Probate Court\, Mr. Jacob Steiner to Miss Mary E. Hill.” You enter the data onto your pedigree chart and your family group sheet: Jacob Steiner married Mary E. Hill; January 19\, 1860; Vicksburg\, Mississippi. You now have a biographical fact\, but as a family historian\, you’re interested in more than just the bare fact of a wedding. How was this wedding different from the many other weddings in your family tree? What did it mean to get married in Vicksburg in 1860? Who was Jacob Morris\, and why did Jacob Steiner and Mary Hill get married at his residence? Why was the couple joined by a civil magistrate\, not a man of the cloth?
