Family tree diagrams are the best way to illustrate genealogy structure of a family. You can create family tree charts using <a rel="nofollow">family tree maker</a> .

I'm liking Rootsfinder and its clipping tool that allows me to see hints and connect things from multiple websites and databases all on one tree a bit easier than some of the other tree programs (online and offline) out there.Clorindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089250524407044322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-83305482967018365032015-01-04T19:52:10.607-07:002015-01-04T19:52:10.607-07:00I put a copy of my family tree on each program and...I put a copy of my family tree on each program and use that to gather sources.

I contribute to the tree on family search and maintain my trees on ancestry. I am curious how you maintain your trees. Do you build trees on all of the websites you mentioned or do you maintain one tree and simply search for records on the various websites?Sharlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549722210568969547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-25197837827027789892014-11-23T17:07:52.472-07:002014-11-23T17:07:52.472-07:00I often build a pedigree from sources when working...I often build a pedigree from sources when working on a client project. However, I liken this to picking the low-hanging fruit you mentioned in your research process.For the problems I've worked on, the method begins to fail in the generation during the great expansion westward after the Revolution. It is difficult by any means to connect the western migrant with his East Coast family. In two generations families have jumped from Boston, MA to New Boston, MI often stopping along the way in NY, PA, and OH. I also agree that starting with a fresh slate can be much faster than trying to fix a poorly done GEDCOM that has little more than names, dates, and a few places if you are lucky. The other roadblock is that not everything you need is on the Internet. Still, the idea of building your pedigree from sources is valid but you will need to develop sources off-line as you go along.
