Who this genealogy workbook is for
This workbook is for family history enthusiasts tracing their roots. It suits beginners starting with their grandparents' names, experienced researchers organizing years of records and families creating a keepsake for future generations. Family history research generates many names, dates and sources, and without a system it is easy to repeat searches or lose track of where a fact came from. Talking with older relatives also uncovers stories that no record holds.
How to use your genealogy workbook
Fill in the family tree, list surnames, write ancestor profiles and family group sheets, log research and records, build timelines, ask relatives questions, record stories and index photos. Start with yourself and work backward on the family tree. List family surnames to research. Create a profile for each ancestor with dates, places and sources. Use family group sheets for each couple and their children. Log every search, including where you looked and what you found, and tick off records such as census, birth and marriage certificates. Build timelines for key ancestors. Interview relatives using the questions page, write down family stories and index old photos with names and dates.
