There are several ways a chronology of all the events in your ancestor’s life can be useful in genealogical research. Here are a few quick things searchers can do with a chronology:

  • look for gaps in the time line–where was the person during the gap?
  • see census years where you’ve not found the person
  • use it as a scaffold to start writing your ancestor’s biogrphy
  • simply organize what you have on the ancestor
