¿Qué busca un adoptado durante la búsqueda de orígenes?
¿Qué buscamos las personas adoptadas cuando iniciamos una búsqueda de familia biológica? Las personas adoptadas cuando iniciamos la búsqueda de familiares biológicos buscamos más que personas, en realidad buscamos recuperar nuestra identidad. Buscamos conectar de nuevo con la lengua de nuestros ancestros, aprender de la cultura que quedó en otros países, recuperar viejas tradiciones. Todo este viaje se puede realizar investigando registros históricos y aprendiendo de genealogistas

La fotografía de un desconocido: ¿punto de partida para una genealogía?
Tue, January 13 2026: 14:00 UTC
En la actualidad, cuando casi cualquier cosa pasa por la IA, el descubrimiento de una fotografía hecha a finales del siglo XIX o principios del siglo XX, no solo nos traslada a otro momento de la historia en el que el contexto era totalmente diferente, sino que nos abre las posibilidades de estudio de una persona y de una familia. Pero, además, ¿qué nos aporta una fotografía de un desconocido? ¿cuánto podemos averiguar de él y de su entorno? Una fotografía es un documento de memoria colectiva y, como tal, aporta una fuente de información sobre estructura familiar, estilo de vida y valores sociales de la época.
