Top 5 Tips: How to start your family tree?

Nowadays everyone wants to know where there family comes from. I found myself in that position and started my family tree. I hope my top 5 tips help. 

1: Always ask your parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents what they know. This is a good start because families always have stories that are handed down through generations. 

2: Start drawing the family tree on paper. Always start with you. This will help you start the journey and make sure that the information is accurate. 

3: Choose a reputable tree building site. I personally chose myheritage.com because it had a lot of information which has helped with the growth of my tree. 

4: Family photo albums help. Visualisation of ancestors can help figure out your family. Sometimes photos can understand where you get your looks for example. 

5: Talk to relatives friends. Sometimes they know information that you don’t. You sometimes have to dig deep. Sometimes they are secretive to they’re family.

I hope this helps. I always enjoy doing my family tree. Don’t be afraid to dig deep
