Welcome, to my beginning genealogy class!

I have made this page in hopes that it will help you in finding the resources to find your ancestors.When I first started out with my genealogy I was at a lost of where to start so here are some "tools" in case you've forgotten these resources we went over in class.

If you're interested in reading the story about how I found my mother's grave and also her siblings you can go to my interests page and click on  "Native American Page" or click here: http://www.geocities.com/makekau63/native_american_page.htm

Family History Center:

everything needed to do your research..you can order films from Salt Lake city for a very small fee if its not at the local FHC

So I've given you   a few "tools" to use to find your ancestors.  Also go to your living family and take a tape recorder with you and ask for permission to ask that person questions. Old letters and diaries might furnish valuable information  When you've gathered as much information as you can get..take the family group sheets and pedigree charts out and start filling in the information you have then type it into your PAF program,export for Temple Ready. You will be taking 3 disks to the Family History Center..one you exported for the Temple Ready and 2 blank floppies. If you have any questions you can email me

Hymn:

"God Be with You Till We Meet Again"
