Starting Your Family History


At Ancestry we’ve made starting your family history as easy, rich and rewarding an experience as possible. Get your family history off to a flying start within minutes by following the 3 steps below:

 

1. Start by building your family tree for FREE
using all the details you have on hand regarding yourself and your immediate family. You can easily add to these later.
 
2. Add to your family tree
and enrich your understanding of your ancestors by adding photos, stories and historical records. These are available on site, from Ancestry and your own family members.
 
3. Share your discoveries with other family members
through our share features, available throughout the site. You can even enable other family members to add to your tree directly to make your life easier too.
