You've decided that it's time to start a family tree, but have no idea
how, exactly, you're going to do that. If you're like most of us,
you've probably looked at the idea of hiring someone to help you (and
then promptly fainted when you heard the price tag attached to hiring
help), or you've looked into expensive computer programs. You can make
a family tree easily and inexpensively by using these three tips,
though, and you'll be pleased with the end price tag.
Tip #1: First and foremost, talk to you family! All too often people
forget to talk to their family members when they're trying to make a
family tree. This is a goldmine of information you just can't afford
to ignore. The relatives that you have living can help you to get a
great start, or to fill in the blank spaces that may be hard to figure
out. If you're trying to keep things a secret, try being a bit
discreet in your questions.
Tip #2: Be organized in your genealogy research. The more organized
you are, the better off you'll be and the easier it is to get things
together. If you know how to make a spreadsheet, use one of those, and
if you're not quite sure how to use one, get a piece of paper and be
very detailed. This can help you to keep everything in order.
Tip #3: The easiest way to make a family tree, and to get your
genealogy records, is to do so online. There are a few great websites
that can help you to search through public records in order to learn
who your ancestors were and where they came from, helping you to
complete your family tree without having to spend tons of money.
