- It's unlikely that your personal family tree is going to be published anywhere. You can find some great software though to make your own. You can also do it the old fashioned way with pen and paper. Call your oldest relatives. Check the Library of Congress. And I don't know about where you live, but my local library has a geneaology building. It's all free, and they will help you step by step in creating a family tree. Hope this helps. And I think it's great that you're interested in your history!
- The internet is not a crystal ball. There is no magick. You begin at your family's kitchen table and your grandparents'. You can ask if any close relative has already done your family's genealogy, in which case you got lucky! If not, you're in for a lifelong pastime of researching it for yourself from what you learn from your living family ancestors, what you can find online (and that grows every day), and what you can dig out for yourself in courthouses, cemeteries, the mailbox, historical societies, and likely across the pond.
- These are all good answers. Some tools you can use is familysearch.org, rootsweb.com, ancestry.com, heritagequest.com. Some are free some you pay for. However these are only tools not gospel. You do need to start with yourself and work backwards using birth, death, marriage certificates, obits, wills, and cemetery records. That's the only way to really find your tree. You will find it most rewarding and frustrating while you are digging but I can guarantee you will have a treasure when you are done. You will run into road blocks along the way too. First step is to sit down and write down what you already know, then talk to relatives, friends who knew your family and then start your leg work. Happy hunting.
- up your ass
- You could try looking at www.familysearch.org it's the LDS one and it's brilliant.
