Share your Genealogy!!

Sharing your genealogy, is one of my most important rules. It not only gives your family members the knowledge of your heritage, but it defines who we are as individuals. Start researching the internet, call up mom or grandma for info, (sorry guys, women really do have a better memory when it comes to remembering important dates), and start collecting pictures. Everyone has a starting point, so keep it simple, keep it growing, and send it off for the next family birthday.


My Top 7 websites for Genealogical Research:
  1. www.ancestry.com
  2. www.familysearch.org & www.new.familysearch.org (LDS)
  3. www.usgenweb.org
  4. www.archives.com
  5. www.findagrave.com
  6. www.google.com
  7. www.rootsweb.com

  2. @Kathryn, Open your PAF software, and at the top you will click on "File", then "Print Reports". You will now see 10 tabs of different reports you can print:

    1. Individual Summary
    2. Scrapbook
    3. Custom
    4. Lists
    5. Calendar
    6. Pedigree
    7. Family Group
    8. Ancestry
    9. Descendants
    10. Book

    Click on one of these 10 tabs to print your favorite type of report. My favorites are the Descendants, Ancestry, Family Group and Pedigree. Have fun!! Let me know if you have any further questions.
