How to start your family tree, using Findmypast

Interested in starting your own family tree? I’ve put together this video guide to show you how to get going.

You can use the birth, marriage, death and census records I mention in the video by signing up for Findmypast’s 14 day free trial.

You’ll need to enter payment details, but just cancel the day before the expiry date through the ‘My Account’ section of the website and you won’t be charged.

 

 

I’ve been tracing my own family history for about six years – my paternal Silk ancestors feature in the video. I really hope you find it useful.
