January 15 Workshop

The focus of Tuesday's mini topic was the Family Tree section of Family Search. We took a look at each tab on a person's page and learned how to add and edit information. It is a good idea to use the "tree view" for a person to locate more suggested sources for several people at one time.

It is also possible to search four different websites from your ancestor's details page: FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindMyPast and MyHeritage. Even if you do not have a subscription to the other three websites, it is possible to see whether information exists. You can access subscription sites if you are at a Family History Center, or you could sign up for a 14-day free trial.

Annie demonstrated how to add a spouse and a child. She also showed how to create a marriage event including the source from Family Tree Maker.
