You do not have to be a researcher to get something out of a family tree. Has someone in your family worked out the family tree? Then it is valuable for you too.
A family tree contains your late parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. With dates, places, and often with photos and stories. It is a place where you find them again. And where your children can later see who their ancestors were.
A family tree gives those answers, with sources.
A family tree on Genealogy Online shows on a map where your family lived. For every ancestor you see what happened in those days. Suddenly history becomes your own history.
Through a family tree you sometimes find relatives you did not know. A second cousin in Canada, a branch of the family in another province. That often starts with a short message to the researcher.
Do you have old photos, a marriage booklet or a story your grandmother told? The researcher in your family will be glad to have them. That way the family tree becomes more complete and your items are preserved. Have a look at the image bank to see how photos and documents end up in a family tree.
