52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
I have two paid genealogy databases. My Heritage was the first one I got. I won a 6 month subscription from a genealogy conference I attended. I loaded that up onto my computer and started using it to build my tree. I still have My Heritage and my tree is almost 2900 people. However I have found many mistakes in this tree. I find I use it less often because of this. However I still find the odd gem.
My second paid database is Ancestry. I received it as a Christmas gift several years ago. I love it despite its cost. I have it renewed each year. The hints are good but still need lots of scrutiny to get through them. I have built this tree to about 3700 people. I have 7425 hints waiting to be looked at in Ancestry. They will wait until I get to them, if I get to them.
Finally I have a software program called Legacy. This is the program where I enter all the names of my family tree that I feel confident are true to my ancestors. I have entered 2148 names. It is a software with more bells and whistles than I will ever use. My Legacy family tree is the program that helps me put together my actual tree. It helps me organize large quantities of facts and individuals into a family tree that may help me present it in some kind of beautiful tree.
These two databases have made my family
tree so large; maybe too large to handle. I am learning to focus on
those hints and people that are important to my family. The following is a display I put together while playing in my Legacy Program.
It is Wendy Kathleen Peters Father's Tree
This is Wendy Kathleen Peters' Mother's Tree.
