Introduction to Genealogy, Ancestry and researching your family tree

The Genealogist's InternetGenealogy -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. 

Our laterlife Genealogy and Family Tree section is presented in association with Ancestry.co.uk
