Where to Create a Family Tree - Genealogy 101

Are you interested in creating a family tree / ancestry tree and want to begin your genealogy research, this video will evaluate various options available to you. We've moved beyond creating a family tree or pedigree chart on paper. Using either online options or a software for your personal computer opens up the world of genealogy! These programs will point you to records available online to help you find your ancestors and keep you organized. In addition, they offer various printing options to share with others. Beginner genealogists need to start with a good place to build their trees. This is the first in a series of videos which will assist you in beginning your genealogy adventures. This video reviews Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com, FindMyPast.com and two of the most popular software programs if you prefer to keep things on your computer - Family Tree Maker and Rootsmagic.
