Getting started building your family tree: Difference between revisions

Get started by going to [https://familysearch.org/ familysearch.org/]  In the upper right corner, you'll see "'''Sign In/Join for free'''".  It will be necessary for you to provide a username and a password so that each time you come to this site you will be able to access the information that you have entered into your tree. Once signed in get started by entering the information that you already know. Familysearch.org will not allow you to research ancestors or descendants who are still living, so be sure to start your tree with your nearest ancestors who have passed on.  As your information is collected, the site will begin the construction of the tree.  

If you prefer to build a paper-based tree or find ways to use a personal data base there are Wiki articles to help you. [[Begin your genealogy quest|start here]]
