MyHeritage serves a similar function, offering historical records, DNA testing and match analysis, and family trees. Although its DNA database is smaller, it accepts transferred DNA data from other testing companies. Its popularity overseas means its DNA database is not quite as America-centric, which could be extremely helpful. Plus, it has made a huge splash among family historians by offering several tools for enhancing old family photographs.

Third-party websites like DNA Painter and GEDmatch provide invaluable tools for DNA analysis. Tap into myriad blogs and Facebook groups and webinars to learn how to make the most of your match results.

With the treasure trove of information on the internet, tracing your family history is now easier than ever. Online records and archives can help you fill in the blanks about your ancestors, providing genealogy information that you just can't get from your living relatives.

Several features are important in a family tree program. Genealogical Data Communication (GEDCOM) is a standardised format for recording family history data. GEDCOM compatibility allows easy sharing of data with other researchers, and is also needed to upload files to online genealogy sites. The free programs all save files in this format.

We recommend using the free websites listed below, starting with the Births, Deaths and Marriages government sites. If all the free avenues have been exhausted, then consider paying for access to other resources.

The paid sites give you access to a database to make the job of tracing your family history easier, and streamline the process of researching and sharing a family tree. There can also be ongoing costs for the convenience of having a one-stop shop for your family tree though, so consider carefully going down this route.

It's important to read sites' privacy policies, particularly if they're not based in Australia, as international sites won't adhere to our privacy laws. Sensitive, personal family information should be protected, and keep in mind that not everyone in the family tree may want it put online.

It's now possible to find records for relatives going back several generations, and in some cases complete records and certificates can be viewed online. However, it's important to note that privacy laws restrict people accessing full certificates without authorisation. For example, in NSW and Vic, births over 100 years prior, deaths over 30 years prior and marriages over 50 years prior to the date of application are not publicly available as full records unless you have a family relationship or legal authority.

Always read the fine print before signing up to any paid sites, and be wary of supplying credit card details to activate a free trial. Local sites include ancestry.com.au and find my past, which also have links to UK and US records. Note that a library edition of ancestry.com.au can be used at the National Library of Australia.

Location technology is also starting to be used to help family historians find gravestones and burial sites on a map on cemetery websites. In Australia, the Centennial Park Cemetery in Adelaide, which has 134,000 burial and memorial sites, allows you to search records online, along with location details, so that family historians can find information about relatives including age, date of death and area of residence.

The new frontier in family history research appears to be in DNA testing. Services have sprung up around the world offering DNA ancestry testing for upwards of $300. Most services have websites with information on how and what they test and offer downloadable information kits, with some even claiming to be able to link people to well-known figures from history.

However, the growth in this new field of research has also attracted criticism. Some scientists and geneticists say the tests are essentially meaningless in terms of showing reliable links to ancestral origins. The results are probabilities and aren't conclusive; for example, in terms of ancestral origin to a geographic area, a guaranteed link can't be established.

Other experts are uneasy about these services because the databases of samples are limited and rely on assumptions that may not be accurate. Each individual has a set of genes derived from thousands of ancestors, and these tests can skew the picture by looking too far back into the past. There are no genetic ancestry testing standards or framework to make the results better understood to people who want an insight into their ancient ancestry.

irishgenealogy.ie is a website that allows users the opportunity to search a wide range of record sources in their search of their Irish Ancestry. The website is home to the on-line historic Indexes of the Civil Registers (GRO) of Births, Marriages, Civil Partnerships and Deaths and to Church Records of Baptism, Marriage and Burial from a number of counties.

2016 Family History is a free Irish genealogy education website, brought to you by the National Archives and IrishGenealogy.ie. The site is aimed primarily at secondary school students, but can be used by anyone with Irish ancestors to learn how to use the multiplicity of online sources now available for family history.

The Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys TD, launched an online genealogy toolkit for schools, aimed at encouraging students to trace their roots and explore their family tree.

The 2016 Family History website has been created by the National Archives as a legacy project under the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme. Minister Humphreys met with students in Muckross College in Donnybrook, who had been trialling the website, to launch the online resource

I am very pleased to welcome you to irishgenealogy.ie the website dedicated to helping you search for family history records for past generations. The website is now home to the historic records of Births, Marriages and Deaths of the General Register Office. These records join the Indexes to the historic records of Births, Marriages and Deaths that were already available on the website.

You may have seen a family tree before, named that because of the branch-like links between family members. You start with yourself at the bottom and work up and out, creating this tree-like finish. Above you are your parents, then from each of them are their parents and so on.

There are formatting norms that some follow, such as females going on the right and males to the left. Also you generally stick to blood relatives only, so no spouse's parents for example. But you are free to build yours as you feel.

While hand-drawing a tree is an option, the advantage of doing it online is that the layout is clear, you can add as much as you need with no paper edge limit, and everything is stored securely and can be easily shared.

Ownership
\nWho owns your data? If you use an online service then the data you discover and layout is generally shared. While this can help others connect and find their trees, it does mean your data is not entirely your own. For this reason the software programs that you download and install on your computer offer an element of privacy. Simon Orde, director at Family Historian, points out that this \"allows customers to store their own data on their own PC, under their own control.\"

Cross-database Hints
\nSearching through multiple databases is important as the information is something that is sold using subscriptions. As such a lot of that data is siloed. So while you might be able to find hints that help guide you to family members within a database, those hints won't apply to wider database information.

So if you were to use Ancestry.com, that won't direct you to MyHeritage.com or other sites, despite that potentially helping you progress your research. This is why software is helpful as you get hints and matches for individuals on multiple databases.

User Changes
\n
The cloud-based nature of online genealogy services means other users can change information. While citing information is good practice, an online user doesn't necessarily need to cite the reason for changing data. For example, a few years ago, someone changed my grandfather's death date on a popular ancestry service's database.

My father had to go through the process of fixing the altered date, showing he had firsthand experience and citing the death certificate before the date was corrected. As it turned out, the person who altered the date had mistaken my grandfather for someone with a similar name. Not an uncommon issue with databases.

A Living Record
\nUsing genealogy services isn't just for tracking the past, it can also serve as a wonderful way to build a picture of living relatives too. This can be a problem with online database services as these can violate the privacy of living individuals who, perhaps don't want to be found or contacted.

Marcia Helzer, a retired school teacher and volunteer indexer for FamilySearch.org for the last eight years, says that in an era where identity theft is a real concern, a privately managed database on your computer is the safer option.
