Your guide to finding your ancestors
Your computer plays games, and with it you can check email or browse the web. You might develop presentations, run your finances through a spreadsheet and even contribute to a crowdsourced research project. But did you know that your computer can also tell you who you are, and where you came from?
A growing trend in computer use is that of researching a family tree, using online and offline resources alongside a customised database project to figuratively travel back in time and meet your ancestors.
Various specialist software tools are available to help you to map your family tree – so called because of the way the members of various generations of a family spread out in a diagram – and there are websites available that can help you out with everything from census results to finding graves.
