Position:Home>Genealogy> Family Tree?Question: Family Tree?How do I begin to do a family tree? What names do I need to start with? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: 1. Start with a "Family Group Sheet" and a "Family Pedigree" sheet. You can often find these, free, online. Fill in the information on the Family Group Sheet by talking to your family. Start with the oldest living family members. You can use this completed sheet to fill in the Family Pedigree sheet. 2. Check with your local public library and ask about local services . . . * Genealogy Section * Access to Heritage Quest or Ancestry through the library * Local genealogy association - meeting dates and contact person. 3. Set up a system for filing your information. You will be glad of this later as your records grow. It can be ABC order, color coded or whatever works for you. |
