How to find your ancestors online

What you need to do is type the
________________ _____________   ____________ ______________
           First                 Middle               Last        Date of Birth - Date of Death

On your favorite search engine online

If you can't find anything

               First:               Take out the person's middle name and search online

               Second:          If the person has a different last name, re-enter the person's middle
    name, change his/her last name and search online

               Third:              Take out the person's middle name with the new last name and
                                      search online

               Fourth:            Sometimes searching for the person's spouse, children, or parents
                                      can give you a link or a source about the person you're looking for

Categorizing My Genealogy Lineage

For Girls, I Categorize them with a G

For Boys, I categorize them with a B

Since we are all Children of our Heavenly Father, might as well label the appropriate sex by a child view by the person.

For the Lineage line example:

Eric Scott Borgholthaus => Jeannette DuVall Borgholthaus => Joan LeFevre DuVall =>
B G G

Miriam Wood LeFevre => Eliza Whytock Wood
G G

This is the Lineage of my Great Great Grandma Eliza Whytock

[BGGGG] 5th Generation.
