Blank Family Tree with Step-by-Step Instructions

Some great advice from veteran genealogist on how to make a family tree.
This is good advice on the “three documents” [birth, marriage, and death certificate], HOWEVER, the Federal Census’ comes up there in documentation. I’ve gotten more information from these when I couldn’t locate the other three.
I received an email today where someone who had previously downloaded a family tree chart had wrote:
“Personally what I have trouble with is where to put people on the tree. Is each tree for each branch of the family? For instance, my husband has 3 siblings, my father-in-law has 3 siblings. Where do I stop on the tree? Having the cousins listed is important.”
As regular readers of this site know I’m a big fan of making sure cemetery research as a method of finding your genealogy trees. Below is an example from Southern Graves (see link below for original post) on how we can find our genealogy trees using this method.
The Family Search website has added over 15 million new indexed records to its Record Search pilot, all from the 1850 and 1870 U.S. Censuses. The records are linked to the digital images of the originals.
The new records can be searched for free at FamilySearch.org (Click Search Records, then Record Search pilot).

Below is a great article about how to make a family tree through the eyes of a first time visitor to the NARA. In it the author discusses the value of the color guides used to assist researchers with the NARA’s most common records. Make sure you visit the link below to visit the source of the guides online. These resources will surely help you figure out how to make a family tree.
Making family tree is never an easy route. There are a lot of things to figure out. However, regardless of where you are in the process of making family tree you’ll find that knowing a bit about graveyards will make a huge difference. Today, I’d like to reference the works (as I’ve done often before) of Southern Graves (see link at bottom of this post for their blog feed). He provides a great little story about the Graveyard Rabbit that I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
There are a lot of family tree template available online. And many of them are extremely fancy and can be very confusing. Many people are looking for a simple solution and don’t wanting to spend endless hours trying to understand this box or that branch. Why can’t a family tree template just be something you can download and fill out?
There are a lot of great resources out there to help you make a family tree. One of which is the great work done over at Ancestry.com. Recently the Ancestry Insider (see bottom of post for original article that I’ve summarized below) wrote a great review of how to use Ancestry.com to make a family tree. Specifically, they focus on how you can make a family tree with much more ease than would otherwise be the case by using the browser toolbar.
