ancestry

I am very interested in Ancestry and I really like the way it works. I have always been interested in my family history which came to a head when I recently got all the family books from my mom. I wanted to put together a family tree with this information I have, so I did some research online and found Ancestry. I have only scratched the surface of what I can do and I am really excited to continue to use it.

I am only about a month into using the service but the one thing I did find was that my grandfather and great grandfather's birth date information is incorrect. My grandfathers information was from another member's public tree which Ancestry doesn't really control. I did contact the person and we discussed and he ended updating his information as I was able to prove to him that my info was right.

My great grandfather information (from the other side not related to the grandfather on my mom's side from above) was from Ancestry's own records. What's great is you can add alternate information and additional comments to records on Ancestry. I did this and it has been reviewed and updated so props to Ancestry.

I recently started Ancestry.com again and have been enjoying it immensely. My grandchildren are of age where they are interested in finding out about their families past. The best way in my opinion is to show them. Using the original records and other people's family trees we have been able to trace our family tree back to the 1500's.

My grandson thinks this is pretty cool :-) and seeing all the old photos of their great great grandparents. 

I am hoping to make a Family History book that includes a lot of this information and have it printed off to give to everyone this Christmas. This way the whole family can enjoy it.
