Family Tree
Hello,
Ive decided that I want to research my family tree, and know what to do and where to look. The only confusion is when compiling the family tree itself. Now for example, do I put my mothers name down? Or my fathers name down? Do i need to create two family trees: One for my mothers side, and one for my fathers? And then how do I put information about my grandparents? Like marriage etc? so for example:
My Mum bore me and my sister. When going beyond that, does one put the information of my father and his parents, or my mother and her parents?
Sorry if Ive made this sound too complex to understand, Im just very confused.
Thanks for the help folks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
It's entirely up to you how much you research into your family tree, the history of each side or both, most family history websites will allow for either of these options.
On some, they put families into groups so if you were married, your 'group' of spouse and children would be tagged as 'extra' and attached to your name. When your mouse hovers over one name, it'll display brief information about that person, birth/marriage/death dates and places of each if known. More information is also available on other pages linked to that name.
Family history is very addictive so allow yourself plenty of time! Hope this helps.:D
