Getting Started

Congratulations! You are about to start a journey of finding your ancestors. It will be rewarding, yet difficult at times. Focus on rejoicing in the information you can find and you will avoid frustration. You will feel closer to your ancestors as you find information about them. Finding your ancestors will help you to know more about where you came from. It is a hobby that can follow you throughout your life.

To Begin:

Compile your 4 Generation Family Chart. You need to know who or what you are missing in order to know what to look for. I have linked to a pedigree chart from familysearch.org.

As you are filling out the form, you will realize you are missing information. Ask your family members if they can help you fill in any details. Make sure the information is accurate.
