Pedigree's arent that hard once you practice and know how to do them without having to look at examples. It takes a while to get good with them but once u do... its a piece of cake!

Most genealogy programs will have an import function that you can try to use.  But it will be highly dependent on the format of the text file you have.  If it's is a fairly standard format you shouldn't have any trouble, but if it's your grandmother's memoirs you may have a tough time :)\n\nSome more ideas in the link.

I'm a genealogist. Start with your parents and began tracing backwards. Lots of internet sites to help you and if you need a little advice, email me. Tina

There are over a quarter of a million free sites devoted to genealogy. However, none of them will let you enter your name and start churning out your pedigree. Genealogists hide the facts they know about living people for privacy's sake. \n\nThe rest of this is a text file I save and paste for your convenience and mine. I don't have to type it again and you don't have to plow through 47 resolved questions to find it. After the warning it explains the links.\n\nGenealogy is a fascinating hobby, but it usually takes more time than most young people are willing to spend. A good family tree takes more time than a term paper, and involves more research. You don't need a college degree to do genealogy, just common sense and patience.\n\nGenealogy is the most popular hobby on the Internet for people over 40. As an example, Cyndi's List (link 1) is a web site with nothing but links to other genealogy sites. She has over 250,000 links.\n\nThe next two links are to the two largest free data bases on the Internet. Family Search (familysearch.com) is run by the LDS Church - the Mormons. RootsWeb World Connect (worldconnect.genealogy) is a collection of genealogical data that other genealogists have uploaded. \n\nTry your two surnames in each data base - your father's surname and your mother's maiden surname. That will give you a feel for how much research has been done on those two surnames. Even better, if you can, call your grandparents and ask what THEIR grandparent's names were - maiden name for the ladies. Their birth day and birth state will help too. Those 16 people are your great-great grandparents. \n\nMost Yahoo! users are 20, give or take 10 years. Most people have children between the ages of 20 and 40, which averages to 30 years per generation. So, if you were born 20 years ago, your mother and father were born 50 years ago, your four grandparents were born 80 years ago, your eight great-grandparents were born 110 years ago and your sixteen great-great grandparents were born 140 years ago. (Those are averages; your results will vary.) If you can get the names of all 16 of your great-great grandparents, you should be able to find at least one or two by name in one of the data bases. You won't find yourself or your parents, because genealogy sites hide dates and details - usually even given names - for people born after 1920. The SSDI (Social Security Death Index) is an exception. It will have people born any time, so long as they have died. \n\nLink 4 (superpages) is a web-based phone book. It will tell you how many people with your surname have listed phone numbers in the US.\n\nLink 5 (begingen.html) is a page on my web site with some hints for beginners. One of the pages is "How to Start". There are also liks to larger, more comprehensive beginner's guides.

Not my current one but I have in the past. It can definitely be hard with some people. I always encourage people to try if they can because it can really open up the amazing possibilities.

How about trying to do a search in family trees, or just try typing the name in quotes in a search like "nevins" or "Norma nevins" is any one has done a family tree with that name you will find it.

My cousin did our genealogy and discovered our family descended from English royalty. I don't know his name, I was young and was kind of ho-hum about it at the time but other family members were real excited about it. Sorry, no link.

Cyndi's List has 250,000 web sites. Which is best depends on your heritage.

The study of family trees is called Genealogy. There is a category for it in Arts & Humanities.\n\nThis is a long, general answer to the question "How do I get started in Genealogy?", with some links. I save it and copy it in for convenience. It is convenient for me because I only have to type it once. It is convenient for you because you don't have to wade through 43 resolved questions to find it.\n\nGenealogy is the most popular hobby on the Internet for people over 40. As an example, Cyndi's List (cyndislist.com) is a web site with nothing but links to other genealogy sites. She has over 250,000 links, all cross-indexed and categorized.\n\nIt isn't very popular with young people because it takes a lot of patience and, unlike softball, it isn't a good way to meet members of the opposite sex.\n\nThe next two links are to the two largest free data bases on the Internet. Family Search (familysearch.com) is run by the LDS Church - the Mormons.

Even better, if you can, call your grandparents and ask what THEIR grandparent's names were - maiden name for the ladies. Their birth day and birth state will help too. Those 16 people are your great-great grandparents. Don't expect to find yourself or your parents. Most genealogy sites are limited to dead people.\n\nMost Yahoo! users are 20, give or take 10 years. Most people have children between the ages of 20 and 40, which averages to 30 years per generation.
