Discover how to start your genealogy journey—step by step, and stress-free.

In this introductory video, we walk seniors through the easiest way to begin family history research, even if you’ve never done genealogy before.

You’ll learn how to gather what you already have at home—family trees, old Bibles, letters, photos, and digital files—and organize them into a simple inventory so nothing gets lost. We explain why starting with basic information like birth, marriage, and death records is so important, and how free online tools can help you build your family tree faster.
