Research Resources

These guidelines will help you get the most out of our family history project. Before you dive in, organise what you already know. Collect names, dates, locations, newspaper clippings and photographs so you can upload or reference them later. Scan important documents at high resolution and note the source for each record.

Best Practices

• Export existing trees from software like RootsMagic or Legacy Family Tree. Many programs can generate full HTML websites that integrate with this site.
• Protect the privacy of living relatives: use first names only and omit sensitive details.
• Cross‑check dates and spellings against official sources to avoid errors.

Features of Dynamic Genealogy Sites

• Individual profile pages with vital facts, relationships, notes and sources.
• Search forms and surname indexes to navigate large trees.
• Charts and maps that visualise the tree structure.

Collaboration & Living People

We encourage family members to collaborate, share updates and correct mistakes. When working with living relatives, always ask permission before sharing personal stories or images. If you’d like to contribute to our project, please use the contact page to get in touch.
