“Getting Started” in genealogy and family history can mean many things depending on the person. Maybe today is the first time you have investigated how to build your family tree. Perhaps you have already started looking at records online and found someone who may be your great great-grandmother but you don’t know how to verify it. Or maybe you have worked on and off collecting information, but you are not sure how to pull it all together and reach much further back in your family history. Even expert genealogists and professionals could be considered “beginners” when learning about new material, resources, and techniques…so don’t worry about labels.
For your convenience, we have created three learning paths—Getting Started, Going to the Next Level, and Building Advanced Skills—feel free to move from one to the other. Personalize your learning.
