In genealogy, there is an interesting niche developing today that intersects a few related disciplines. The combination of scrapbooking, journal keeping, and historical research, are coming together in a profound way, as experienced hobbyists prove.

I'm new to genealogy. I want to uncover my family's ancestors and I don't have a lot of money to do my research. I do have a lot of time that I can devote to this project. Where do I start and what tools can I use?

I want to start researching my family tree. However, I'm unsure of what questions I need to ask and how do I go about talking to my family about it?

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

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?

I'm just trying to research my family tree. How do I find good, free geneology sites to use in my research?

I'm just starting my family tree research and am not sure how to get started. I don't have a lot of money to invest. Where can I start my research without spending a lot of money?

Family stories are the key. You have been collecting dry bits of information and facts for some time. Your search for your ancestors has given you a glimpse into the past. But the research can be frustrating. How do I document these facts? The search for facts takes time, but a story can pop up unexpectedly anytime and is the key to making your tree come alive for your family.
