Learning about genealogy opens the door to a rich history. From a practical perspective, it can also provide you with an enriched medical history dating back several generations.

There are many places you can visit to research genealogy and to develop your family tree. The following article is a guide you can use in your quest.

  1. Ask relatives. One of the easiest ways to gain information on your family history is by asking your relatives. Most of your older relatives love telling stories about their younger years, their relatives and the family history. You can be sure they will invite you in for some cookies and tea or hot chocolate as they recall their favorite tales from the family lore. Aside from stories, they may also possess important heirlooms or documents that can help to unravel a family's history.

    If you are asking relatives about the family history for a genealogical chart, or to establish a solid family tree, then you need to make sure you take a notebook and pen or pencil so you can take notes.

  2. Join genealogy websites. The Internet has provided a medium for genealogists to research their families in worldwide databases. Prior to the rise of the Internet, much of genealogical research was conducted offline through family interviews or at the public library; nowadays, online public databases are accessible from your home with the click of the button.

    One of the biggest websites of this kind is genealogy.com. You can enter your family name and search for your relatives, create and save your own family tree, or even contact others who are researching the same family and collaborate by sharing information and resources. However, most of these services cost money. Other than making your family tree, you have to pay a membership fee to gain access to information past the initial search. You can see how many results you have, but you cannot view them.

    Membership fees cost varying amounts from site to site, though an annual membership at genealogy.com is $49.99. This may seem like a lot of money, especially if your family has a sketchy family history, though the site virtually guarantees you will find some sort of lead. However, you can search on the forums, which is a nice way to connect with others who have genealogical information that is pertinent to your family....
