GenealogiesThis is a featured page

The internet has opened up a whole way to trace and document your family tree, and with it thousands of people becoming amateur genealogists..
  1. Research what is available on the web to trace your family's history. Google offers
  2. Sign up at a genealogy site and start a family tree
  3. With your team document what you found. Provide links to the best sites and videos. Eexplain how the web helps people make a genealogy. Did you enjoy this? Did you connect with "long lost" relatives?
Sign up at a genealogy site. Two I've tried are: Genealogies - CIS120-01 The Internet Fall 09 @UCCwww.Geni.comwhich I have used for the last year. Enter the names and email addresses of a few sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles and watch our tree grow. Geni lets you upload photos and enter all sorts of personal information like schools attended. It has a neat map view that show where everyone was born (provided they enter that information) and where they are now. I started my GENO tree a little under a year ago and have over 200 relative all over the world of all races and ethnic backgrounds ...amazing. or Genealogies - CIS120-01 The Internet Fall 09 @UCCMy Heritage is a similar site. You could try this one instead. They claim to have over 5,000,000families and 300,000,000 people in the database! Perhaps some of your family is already there. I know some of mine is and we are trying to figure out how to connect the two data bases.. Both sites support GEDCOM the genealogy data format.
