How To Find Your Ancestors

1
Welcome To Family Trees By Jackie
Jackie shares tips to find out more about your
ancestors and create a family tree.
We have been asked quite sometimes about this and
I think now is the best time to share some so
here we go

1 Ask questions. Figure out as much as you can
about your family history. Search through old
photo albums, and ask your family members what
they know. Enquire about the names of
grandparents, great-grandparents, and other
relatives, as far back as they can remember.
While you search on how to find your
ancestors make sure to learn about any spelling
changes that may have taken place over the years.
May be your ancestors changed their names when
they moved to a new country or community. Never
assume that your parents, grandparents, and other
relatives have already told you everything that
they know. Older relatives may remember further
back. This is a crucial point in your how to find
your ancestors quest.

2 Build on prior research. You can also take
the help of a professional genealogist to find
out whether your family has done any genealogy
research before. Moreover, search for pictures
that can give you a sense of what life was like
back when the photo was taken. Look for my
genealogy trees, records, and research projects
that might give you a solid starting point.   3
Create a family tree to manage what you know.
Start with my genealogy, and map out everything
that you know about your family history. Pin down
birthdays, death dates, marriages, locations, and
any other relevant information.

4 Make a simple "direct route" list first. Get
inside the past from you to your mother and
father, then their parents, and then their
grandparents By the time you list your
great-grandparents, you already have 15 people on
your "tree". To begin your quest, find out as
much as you can about those 15 people. Try
running a simple web search or get in touch with
a professional genealogist.
