I have been studying and researching my own family tree for many years and have thousands of ancestors in my tree, going back dozens of generations. I've learned quite a bit about searching and record-keeping that I would love to share with others embarking on this fascinating hobby.
With thousands of individuals, my own family tree is online (created with my daughter, Terri Vaillancourt) and is an example of how deeply your research can go. I have Kings, Queens and presidents in my distant past. Maybe you do too?
