1. YOUR FAMILY TREE
You will already know some information about your ancestors so there is little point in asking me to conduct research in to those people unless you’d like to find out more about them. In addition, you telling me as much about them will make the research easier, and of course, cheaper.
This pack contains templates for both your outline tree (separate slides for your paternal and maternal ones to make it less cluttered) together with a more detailed one for a particular ancestor who you would like to find more information about.
Please complete as many names and places/dates as you know. Approximate dates are fine if you don’t know them. And I’ll understand if you do not want to key the details for living relatives.
So, simply overwrite the text in the boxes to, say:
Mary O’Donnell
Approx 1864 Letterkenny, Co Donegal
25 March 1920 Ballyshannon, Co Donegal
Great Grandmother’s name
