New at Family Tree Making?
i am new at the whole family tree searching and making and i was wondering if buying a family tree software like Family Tree Maker 2009 is the best way to go. i looked into ancestry.com but the membership price is a little too high. does buying a software program have the same research tools as ancestry.com? is ancestry.com worth its price?
Don’t buy anything yet.
Start with a free-download of PAF from http://www.familysearch.org
Download any tutorials they have. The software will help you organize the information you obtain.
The same site will allow you to search their database for free. Also, hit http://www.rootsweb.com , most of which is still free.
Go to your public library and check out a few books on genealogy. Curl up with them at night. Genealogy has nothing to do with software; it’s all methodology and detective work. It can be done with a notebook, index cards, and a filing cabinet. Software and databases are convenient and handy, but not necessary. The Method and Discipline are required. If you get really enthused with it, then you can allow yourself to spend the money.
Also check into membership in a local Genealogical Society. You’ll learn lots there too, they’re cheap (mine is $25 per year) and very valuable resources.
Good luck and happy hunting.
