We all need an online family tree to take advantage of what is available to help us online. Hopefully you have a free Family Search account and have started your section of the Worldwide Family Tree. You learn about the FamilySearch/ Family Tree in Project 1 of The Family History Guide. The project takes you through a sequential process to familiarize you with how the Family Tree works. You start with what you know about your family and move backwards in time from yourself.
If you open the tree and don't see any ancestors it is probably because you have not connected yourself to the first deceased person. To understand how this is done go to Project 1: Goal E Understanding Privacy Rule: Choice 1".
Next Project 1: Goal F: Click on Summary: Go through Choices 1-4 as needed. As you connect yourself to the first deceased person in your family, the tree will populate with what is already in Family Tree. Entries without sources cannot be relied upon. You will learn how to verify and add sources the entries with records that support them.
