Child to Adulthood years...

           Alexander graham bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on March 3, 1847. He had two brothers named Melville James bell and Edward Charles bell. When Alexander was 11, he added a middle name, graham, to his name in order to avoid confusion in his family since his father and grandfather were both named Alexander. During the same time, he started to carry out the family's business and began studying scientific verbal sounds at the London universities. During his studies, he developed Visible Speech, a system of symbols. Later, his father learned about his works and convinced Alexander Graham Bell to read a technician German book, which led Graham's thoughts to a new direction. He began considering ideas of transferring sound by distance and electricity.
