Introduction to Genealogy, Ancestry and
researching your family tree
Genealogy
-tracing your ancestors and researching your family tree
online, is one of the most popular uses of the web.
Whether you are just starting out to trace your ancestors and to
build your family tree or whether you are already an experienced
family history researcher, we aim to help you
with tips for getting started and for sources of
information online and offline. (see below)
There has never been a better time to take an interest in
genealogy and research your family tree, because there has never
been so much genealogy information being made available online.
It used to be a time- consuming task to visit records offices and
parish registers, but now you can make major headway in doing your
genealogy research from home. As you get deeper into it you will
no doubt need and want to visit some places that are relevant to
your search, which adds to the interest of your detective work.
On top of all the standard information resources there are now
lots of ways of connecting with others who are researching the
same family name. You can find that a vital hole in tracing your
family tree can be filled because someone else has done the
research before you.
