Have you ever uncovered a website, page in a scrapbook, or a death notice that was written in another language? In the past I've had to take this information to a friend or even a friend of a friend to get the page translated. The expansion of the internet has made the problem even more common. Fortunately, the internet has provided the solution that is quick, easy and fairly reliable

I was following some leads on the internet the other day and came across a few tools that sparked some interest. One of them was an online service that helps you build your ancestor's timeline. I tried it and found some very interesting facts. You can find the service at http://www.ourtimelines.com. I think you might find it interesting too.

I was reviewing past articles in my Family Tree Magazine© and I found an entry that I had previously missed. When I first looked at it I realized that I had not used my Census research properly. I'm guessing that many of you have run into the same problem.

I was researching my family tree over the weekend, and realized that I had missed a number of opportunities to find a particular ancestor that I have been researching for several months. Have you ever missed a great opportunity to find one of your long-lost ancestors?

I have been researching tools, tips and techniques on the internet and was amazed to find all of the new and incredible tools that are at our fingertips. We all know about the free search tools that are available. And many of us subscribe to services that provide access to huge databases. But when you first start your family tree research it's difficult to know how and where to start.

Probably one of the hardest things to deal with is conflicting family tree information. How do I determine what's right? Sometimes there just isn't a correct answer…but we expect to find it.

I recently saw an article in Family Tree Magazine that outlined some of the built in functions that Google provides to improve our research. After doing a little research of my own I found that many of the functions that Google provides are also available on many other search engines.

So far my genealogy search has turned up nothing. How do I find a good resource to use to search for my ancestors?

My family is trying to find their roots. People are telling me that I can simply search for their names online. How do I do that?. Is there a good website to start my research?

I've been looking at a lot of genealogy software and I am confused. What do I need to look for in Family Tree software?
