1. Sign up for FamilySearch Family Tree FREE:

 * Go to FamilySearch.org and create an account.
 * Sign into Family Tree to start you family tree.
 * See the training (Left menu) #3 for Family Tree Training

2. Write down what you know.

 * Family Tree Chart
 * Start with yourself. Use the Family Tree Chart above to enter information about you, your parents, grandparents, etc. If you do not know exact dates and places, estimate them. Fill out by memory first, the from records you have at home and contact family members to help fill in the missing information. NOTE: always use a pencil so corrections are easy to make.


 * For each couple in the Family Tree Chart, fill out a Family Group Chart that will show each of the children in that family.
 * Circle any missing or incomplete information, and decide what/whom you want to find first.

NOTE-Family Tree is very unique with only one person per deceased ancestor in the tree. Unlike all other database trees where everyone has their own tree with hundreds of the same John Michael Smith born in 1815 scattered throughout those trees, Family Tree only has ONE.

WHY is this important? Collaboration for the best sources and information and whatever stories, pictures or memories one person adds, all who are connected to John Michael Smith get to enjoy those memories and don't have to search into hundreds of individual trees to find and add that information into their personal tree. This SAVES hours of duplicating work when we all collaborate to enjoy the fruits of everyone’s labors.

3. Contact your immediate family first:

 * In the step above, note the information that is missing and decide on the family member that might have that information.
 * Record any useful information and stories they provide.
 * Ask about copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates as well as journals, letters, photos, and other records that might be available.
 * Find out if they know other people you should contact.
 * Use this new gathered information to fill in the missing information on your Family Tree Chart and Family Group Charts. This will give you a guide as to where to go next.
 * In Return-offer to share with what you find and put together.

4. Search other sources.

 * A guide of places to find family history information can be found Here
 * Gather your records starting with the records you already have, and organize them in one place.
 * Explore online sources starting with FamilySearch.org/search for free access to family history records such as census, birth, death, marriage, military records, etc.
 * See the Tips for Using FamilySearch.org/search below to best learn how to use FamilySearch.org Search.
 * Get personal help by visiting our local FamilySearch family history center for free personal help and many other valuable services.
 * Center staff may also direct you to online resources as well as other local community resources.

5. Visit the FamilySearch Library to:

 * Access Premium Websites to search for records
 * Free access to Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, Find My Past, and more.
 * Personal help to direct you in your research process.
 * Free, hands on, training classes

6. Take the newly found information:
