== '''How to use the information found on Online Family Trees'''<br> == | |||
You can start by looking at the censuses as well as the birth, death and marriage records of the locality listed in the online family tree. You can use various search engines on different sites to look at the different people in that tree and see if they are really your ancestors or not. Enter the correct information and verifiable sources into your family group sheets. Enter all events that you find. This will allow you to start a timeline or a chronology so you can check for inconsistencies of dates or locations. You can also write to the owner of the online tree and give them the correct information along with the sources. They, too, will be grateful for the assistance. And lastly, you can upload your own family tree with sources and correct information. Adding verified sources of actual records to your family tree will not only make it more accurate but also assist others in their research efforts. <br> | |||
