The first steps for the novice genealogist
“For those just starting out with their genealogies.”
Discover your ancestors (and their descendants)
All beginner genealogists have experienced those moments of exhilaration when discovering an ancestor. Adding a person or a new generation to one’s genealogy is an important moment, and the novice genealogist is quick to add it to his or her family tree, sometimes forgetting to check the information.
Be guided to learn how to search properly
After two or three generations, there are no longer any traces immediately available within the family. You then have to learn how to find information about your ancestors.
It’s not an easy subject. To help you, the Internet is full of websites offering good advice. Of course, you can also benefit from the experience of seasoned genealogists within an association.
Consider using the power of our applications to guide you in your search.
Check the information obtained
But the information we gather – even from within our own family – is sometimes flawed. It’s important to check for consistency, and to make sure you have reliable sources of information (e.g. birth or marriage certificates) to confirm this information.
Our applications can quickly and easily check an entire genealogy.
