Family Tree Shortcuts

Welcome to Family Tree Shortcuts!

We’re here to help you learn more about Ancestry.com and (if you haven’t already gotten yourself a membership) help you make an informed decision about whether it’s really for you. With powerful software and the most extensive record databases, Ancestry.com simply blows the others out of the water. Of course, this is also one of its weaknesses. It is so large and impressive that it’s sometimes difficult to understand on a basic level. That’s where Family Tree Shortcuts comes in. We have no official relationship with Ancestry.com, but we want to explain some important details about how to use Ancestry.com to its fullest.

General Questions: Here we discuss basic topics relating to genealogy.

The Ancestry.com Site: Here we include tutorials, how-to’s, and explanations on how to use the service itself.

Avoiding Issues : Here we explain some of the basic problems that seem to be fairly common and how to avoid them.

So check out what we have to offer. And if you haven’t already signed up for your own Ancestry.com account, sign up today!
