Most of the people in my genealogcial society use this program. Also, you might also consider getting a program called GenSmarts. This aynalizes your genealogical file and makes suggestions on where to look based on information in your file.

It is an easy to use program, economical and has automatic uploading of the tree to Pearl Sts. Database which is a good way to store info as a backup in case of a crash. At start I'd use websites like USGenWeb, Cyndi's List before getting into anything as expensive as Ancestry(yes I have it but it is expensive). As far as Census goes if you have an LDS Family History Center near you you can look at Census microfilms there.

Do not over look birth certificates on hand, marriage,divorce, death records. The information on these records are very useful, As for websites I use rootsweb, family search and I have also found information just by typing the last name and adding genealogy to it. I have traced my family back to the 1500's by doing this.

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:16:55 +0000 http://dixon-genealogy.com/2010/07/12/genealogy-2/#comment-203 This is what I did. I stared out asking questions about my grandparents. One was already dead, so I got their obituary and found out who their parents were. Then I got their parents' deathdates and got THEIR obituaries and found out who THEIR parents were. I did that for each generation. If you know when an ancestor died, keep their death year and fullname in mind and use familysearch.org to do a lookup. Social security indexes for that site only give results for those born at least as early as 1890. So as long as your ancestor was born after that, they're findable. So for starters, ask questions and get obituaries. Get names out of them find their tombstone (can't really use a tombstone, but at least you'll know where they're buried). I did that with my mother's side. I know exactly when they died, where, and where they were buried, all the way back to the point of immigration. Worked for me. Hope it does for you too.
