Since FamilySearch has a tree, we learn '''why''' we need to keep a database. There are many different types of Genealogical databases. A Database can keep the information you want on a living relative (your children.) A Database can keep photo memories of living and dead. A Database cannot be changed by anyone but you. A Database is private, only changed by you, and is kept safe from others. It is also a place to keep notes that you don’t want anyone else to see. Learn how to tag to keep private information private. There are free and cost wise databases that interface with Family Tree to easily move information back and forth. Learn when to Backup/Restore, Import/Export, and what “save as” is for. Learn when to use a flash drive and well as learn more terminology. | Since FamilySearch has a tree, we learn '''why''' we need to keep a database.
