Creating your family tree

Creating your own family tree can be a hugely satisfying and interesting activity. We have put together some tips for helping you start out, and we have also collected resources which may help you fill in the gaps.

The first step is to collect as much information as possible from your known relatives. You will quickly get the parents/grand parents etc. and you will see the gaps emerging.

Ask all your relatives if the know anything about these gaps, or if they know someone who does. Information like first/last names, places where they lived/moved to friends they had will all be useful when you are trying to resolve them. A piece of information from one persom may lead to more information from someone else.

When you have exhausted your relatives with your constant questioning, you should have closed some of the gaps on your family tree. What you do next will depend on your committment to completing your tree. There are many resources online which will help you to find relatives - it will be up to you to investigate any leads that come up. The following research guidance page will help you to find ancestors from certain areas. Births, Deaths and Marriages are the usual starting points.

Finally when you have all the names, there are many software packages which allow you to create an attractive family tree. Drawing up a family tree usually leads to people looking for more information on a particular individual. It can turn out to be surprising and fun. Enjoy your family searching and be patient, it can take time.
