Getting Started
BEFORE You Start
The big question is, where are you going to start? It’s easy to say I’m going to do my whole family tree, but once you get started, you will realize that is a MASSIVE undertaking!
10 generations of ancestors gives you 1024! That's a LOT of people. And of course everyone has to be verified by finding proof of who they are and how they are connected, which means finding birth, marriage and death certificates for them all. To make it more difficult, the further back you go, the harder it is to find certificates that still exist.
To help you get started on your own, I have prepared a series of Help Sheets and Forms that you can download.
