FTM2014 - Starting a New Tree from Scratch

This is a re-recording of my last post that had no sound. It is also long.

This Blob Post is how I started a New Family File, so there may be some more information and work that is done in a new file.

This file is being created to see if I can find enough information to create a 5 or 6 generation book in celebration for a farm's 100th anniversary in Long Valley, New Jersey. So, I thought I would record some portions of how I proceed with this project.

Creating a new file from scratch

Creating a new file from scratch to see if I can find enough information to trace a family back a couple of generations. This one is not short like I usually do, but spend some time talking about the details when creating a new file and doing a Web Merge with a Census Record
