INTRODUCTION

Family history (aka genealogy) is … 

• a great hobby for all ages.
• for families.
• not just for old folks.
• very varied.

This will introduce family history to young people. By young, I mean ages 10-16, but if you are more mature and also need a simple intro to family history, then young and old alike can join in and learn together.

I will ask a question at the beginning of each post and then answer it. Here are the first few questions. I will add links when they are published.

• What is family history?
• How do I start?
• What tools do I need?
• Where do I keep the stuff I find?
• Can I use a tablet?
• Can I use a smart phone?
• Do I need subscriptions?
• Can I keep everything online?
• How do I keep everything organized?
• How reliable are online trees?
