How to Create Your Family Tree for Free
Exploring your family history can be a captivating journey, often perceived as expensive. However, you can embark on this adventure at no cost. Here's how to get started for free.
Download Free Family Tree Software
Begin by using free software like Personal Ancestral File (PAF) to organize your information. Download PAF to craft family tree charts without spending a dime. Start by entering your details?"name, birth date, and birthplace?"and continue adding known family information. Once you've documented what you know, reach out to family members for more details to grow your tree.
Interview Family Members
Interviewing relatives is an invaluable and cost-free step. Sit down with parents, grandparents, and other relatives to gather information about their ancestors. These conversations can provide insights reaching back to your great-grandparents or even great-great-grandparents.
