| 1 | Bring up two scrrens and keep checking your tree, matching it against the branches you are building based on your DNA matches. | |||
| 2 | To start an unknown branch to your tree. Just pick any person. Add a child with a name in your new branch. And as soon as they are added. Go into the new person and edit the relationship, disconnecting them from everyone. Then start building your new branch around that person. | |||
| 3 | When I am searching for someone and 'copying' a tree. I only add names and birth/death dates. When I am adding additional people to the new branch that aren't in the copied tree, I still only add enough information that I am sure it should be the correct person. Sometimes you do have to build away from the tree to get the computer program to show you good suggestions. | |||
| 4 | Obits/Obituaries can have some of the most useful information. They may tell you who is still living, where they are living and what their married names are. | |||
| 5 | If available. Look at the image of the record. The census will list who else was living with the family, birth records may give siblings names. | |||
| 6 | Lots of the computer records only pull up the information for one person. Look at the original. Immigration and state census records are two main areas to watch. | |||
| 7 | Old cemetries used to have 'family plots.' Who all is buried together? Or even looking at FindAGrave to see who is in the same cemetery or the same city, county. | |||
| If you are seeing this, you should have a way to contact me. If something isn't clear or you have found a better way, let me know. Thanks and good luck. | ||||
