Family Tree Gal: Memory Lane Monday: 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy

Welcome !

I am committed to acknowledging connections throughout the generations--past, present, and future--and igniting a sense of extraordinary family purpose in individuals in THIS generation. Let me help you discover your "roots" as well as strengthen the "branches" of your family tree. If you have had painful experiences in your family line, then this is the blog for you! In fact, all of us will see that as we strengthen ourselves, we strenthen our entire FAMILY TREE through the power of our positive influence.

RootsMagic 4, Personal Historian and Family Atlas are also helpful tools.

It is useful to have tools for collecting pedigree charts and family dates and places, as well as tools to store pictures or written records of your personal history. The tools and resources you use will be taylor-made to your own, unique needs and goals. Finding time to locate and choose tools and resources that help you will save you time in the long-run.
