Some people have asked me about “gravestone photos”. We got a couple emails on that so I thought it would be helpful to write a
little about the role of graveyards in your genealogy research.
They are critical!
Some folks are asking about family tree research and if we could offer some ideas/ assistance with how to actually find your ancestors.
We’ll spread the ideas out over several posts so you can digest things in small chunks (at least my mind works that way).
That said, I’m going to assume …
When making family trees it’s easy to get lost in the details. All those lines and dates, who’s generation one and where do your children go? My hope is that this blog post will get a discussion going around how to address these issues.
The Six Generation Family Tree Template you downloaded has three key areas that you need to understand in order to complete your
family tree:
We did a survey a little while back where I asked the original visitors to this website what their biggest challenge was when making a family tree.
The idea was to make sure the website was a resource that would help people overcome these initial barriers.
