Guide
Start your family tree checklist
A free checklist that walks you through the first five people to add, what to ask relatives, and where to look when a trail goes quiet.
What's inside
Most people start a tree, add a few names from memory, then stall. This checklist shows you how to keep going, so a Saturday afternoon turns into a tree that actually grows.
What you'll learn:
- The five people to add first, and why starting with the living makes everything after it easier
- The questions to ask older relatives now, before the details fade
- Where to look for a birth, marriage, or death record when you only know a name and a rough year
- How to mark what you're sure of and what's still a guess, so your tree stays honest as it grows
