After speaking with people over the past few years, I've come to the conclusion that many people would like to create a family tree, but just don't know where to start. I know I was in the same situation when starting out a few years ago. Hopefully this blog will help people out and point them towards some great resources, both online and off.
So, my first recommendation when starting out is to create a free account with Ancestry.com.au (or .com, .co.uk). Ancestry is just awesome. I love the layout of the site and the ease at which you can create a pretty impressive tree. While I've found other sites better for making connections with family members, their layout and tree making are lacking. One of the best things about starting out with an online tree, is the ability to show and share your work with others. When you're ready to get yourself a serious genealogy program, you can simply export your tree.
