I would like someone to guide me through the process of creating a family tree. I have all the data on my heritage. I need to print it so that I can verify all the details. After that I would like some input as to the best way to exhibit or display my family tree in a creative and yet elegant manner ( perhaps a wall setting).

Hi All,
This is my first post. I am researching the Riley family in Alabama in the early 1800's. My g-g-great grandfather Milton Riley was born in South Carolina around 1813 and died in Mississippi around 1900. Or, may also died in Buena Vista, Monroe Co. Alabama after 1900 but before 1910. However, he lived most of his life in Tuscaloosa Alabama.
I think I have hit a brick wall when I look for his parents and siblings. I think he father was William Riley, but there are many, many, William Rile

At the census of 1841 there were twenty individuals surnamed Young in Tulliallan Parish, Perthshire (since 1891 in Fife). At this census, the first undertaken in the UK, information collected was minimal. Familial relationships and birthplace were left out. They were added at the next census in 1851.

A Different Approach.... Is iIt Needed
It seems there are so many sites out there that researchers, yes even older researchers are getting a bit frustrated.
My serious concern is the loss of Rootsweb.com with their surname files and lists for regions you can share your data with people with. Have not heard how New York is doing with our records either. Now that is a state of major need for me on four lines.
So reading NGS, NEHGS and many other written published papers. I am learning of a co

As an introductory post, I felt this was an appropriate subject. After all, as a genealogist or family historian, your overall goal is to fill in as much of the family tree as possible; to find out who the people were who are responsible for your very existence! Brick Walls in your tree prevent that, which is obviously frustrating. I want to talk about some of my own brick walls, and perhaps some things that have helped me break through previous brick walls. Do you have information for me, a
It is not possible that “John” was Oliver Burden’s saint name as has been suggested. Saint names were never placed on marriage certificates according to the Director of Archives and Records, Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in Wheeling, West Virginia.

I am related to the watchmakers in Prescot. I have been able to sort about a few links, the main problem at the moment is that of Joshua Hewitt 1786-1839. his parents. I cannot find them anywhere.
Hello to all of you in the genealogy wise group!
My name is Mike Napper and I have been doing research on my family for some time. I have learned that what is written is not always true and a lot of errors occurred in census data recording between the questions asked and interpretation of the answers received. It has been my experience to hit hot spots and really gain information and to turn around and crash into a brick wall making no progress. I don't give up; but, sometimes walk away to regro
