Hello....Am glad you stopped
by!
Trail's genealogy web site is not only about family history, it is also about computers. Without
a computer of some sort, there is a good chance you would not be here. The two hobbies go together!
Because, genealogy and computers are a hobby, And I like to have fun. Well, you get the idea. With
that in mind, there is many things to do, see
and learn while visiting "AncestryTrail" For one thing, you may not know about
computer "EasterEggs". If you would like to know, just what the heck they are, click on the "EasterBasket" below.
Now, that you are back from your little adventure
and are now the "Old Enlighten One". Hidden around the web site is "EasterEggs" with goodies... Some have to do with genealogy,
others computers and some Health and Antiaging. And a few are just plain fun!
Good luck on your ancestry search, "stay on the move" and remember have fun!! "Trail"
Oh, some of those eggs may not be hidden where you
think...and, this page might be a good place to start your treasure hunt!!
Some families know a great deal about their genealogy roots;
others know very little. This site is an attempt to record what I've learned about our family history,ancestry. In these modern
times, families tend to be scattered all over the country, if not the world. One of the goals of this web site is to help
our family stay connected through genealogy research even though we live far apart.
On this web site I'll provide a little
information about who I am and what inspired me to do this genealogy research. Most of this information was probably obtained
from talking to living relatives about our ancestry and from researching public records. In the course of doing this research,
I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever thought possible!
This
is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any information that might help round out this family tree picture.

You have a little knowledge about your family history, a few
old photos and documents and a consuming curiosity. Here are some basic steps to start you on your family tree adventure!
Here's How:
1. Gather together everything you
have -- papers, photos, documents and family heirlooms. Rummage through your attic or basement, the filing cabinet, the back
of the closet.... Then check with your relatives to see if they have any family documents they are willing to share. Clues
to your family history might be found on the backs of old photographs, in the family bible, or even on a postcard. If your
relative is uneasy with lending an original, offer to have copies made.
2. While you're collecting family
records, set aside some time to interview your relatives. Start with Mom and Dad and then move on from there. Try to collect stories,
not just names and dates, and be sure to ask open-ended questions. Try these questions to get you started. Interviews may make you nervous, but this is probably the
most important step in researching your family history. It may sound cliche, but don't put it off until it's too late!
3. Write down everything you have
learned from your family and begin to enter the information in a pedigree or family tree chart. If you're unfamiliar with these traditional family tree forms, you can find
step by step instructions in filling out genealogical forms. These charts provide an at-a-glance overview of your family, making it easy
to track your research progress.
4. Select a single surname, individual, or family with which to begin. Focusing your family history search helps keep your research on track, and reduces the chance of missing important
details due to sensory overload. As much as you might want to, you can't do it all at once.
