Hobbies & Technology

Have you started, or considered researching your Family-Tree? If not, where do you begin? To track down your recent, migrant and ancient ancestors is to take part in an exciting detective story; one that asks you to research and discern from the past; from living and written records, and artifacts, such as family photographs. It’s a journey of self-discovery that can teach you as much about yourself as about those who came before you. Personal equipment needed: A personal computer (PC or MAC) with camera/microphone capability, internet connectivity and a browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.) Ancestry Software needed: Provide yourself, if you’ve already started with a different product subscription, i.e., Ancestry.com. Or we will use MyHeritage.com,15-day free trial, and a basic plan is free, supporting up to 250 family members. We will explore other subscription products and free online public and government record resources.
