If you want to outsource the construction of your own family tree or ancestral lineage, here are the things you need to know to get started:

 

  1. DATA NEEDED TO BEGIN THE SEARCH
  2. The basic rule is to provide basic information about your ancestors, in particular the names and surnames of your grandparents and great-grandparents.
  3. It is usually the case that simply providing details of grandparents is not enough to start the search. Well as, for example, the names of great-grandparents are known.
  4. The dates of birth and at least the year of birth of the ancestors are important. As a rule, I come from my great-grandparents, i.e. the beginning of the 20th century to the max. 1918, but it depends on the parish and it comes out "in the wash"
  5. It is important to provide the town or parish in which the ancestors were born or in general from what area they come. Sometimes it is enough to state your grandparents' hometowns.
  6. In order to obtain this data, we first use our own knowledge. Then we ask parents, grandparents or other elderly people in the family.
  7. In case of poor results after performing the activities mentioned in point 5 - you can visit the graves of relatives and write down important information from them.

For example:

Jan Kowalski, born on January 1, 1905, Lodz

Janina Kowalska née Nowak, born on January 1, 1910 in Łódź

  1. EXECUTION TIME
  2. It can be approximated only after presenting the data and familiarizing yourself with the availability of metrics, their reading difficulty, complexity - the number of parishes. This is due to many factors.
  3. If, after reading the data, I know that I am unable to complete the task, I do not undertake it.

III. MANUFACTURING

  1. I am sending the finished tree in a graphic form in a pdf file.
  2. I'm sending a link to a free genealogy program.
  3. I send a ready file containing the entire database of found people, which can be opened in the indicated program or uploaded directly to the genealogical website
