I have started doing the Family Tree.
I would imagine plenty of other people have done their family tree.
My question is “how did you record it ?”
– keep the record on the internet, save on an USB
– put it all on a massive big chart
– record separate branches of the tree in albums .
I would appreciate any ideas please.
All of your ideas are good but it also all depends on the amount of info that you would find on your family tree. Some folks got even more info when they used services like ancestry.com, 23andMe.com,etc. With everything going high-tech, going into digital storage is a good idea. If you want to sketch it as a tree, it depends on how you can fit it into the “tree”. (depending on the size of your info)

Thankyou Josie for your helpful comments. I am using Ancestry.com for a few weeks, so far so good. At the moment I am leaning towards a large chart like a world map. My son stands to inherit all my belongings, I will ask what he thinks as well.

It depends on how big your family is and how far you want to branch out. I only did it until my grandparents and still needed a massive poster board lol!

Thankyou Ayesha. I thought maybe limiting it to Great Grandparents. It will be like a world map including New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England and goodness knows where else it might go 😂.

That’s so cool! Mine was also spread out quite far! My immediate family is quite small, but my grandparents generation is massive! 😂

Ally, I enjoyed reading the lively discussion in the comments. In today’s digital age, we have many ways to create our family tree. Sometimes there are some reliable ways from the past which seem more personal.
