Welcome to the research section of Family Tree Forum site.
It’s our jewel in the crown, where information is stored in various sections to help in the successful growing of your family tree.
Not only will the information in here help you to grow the tree, you will no doubt find links and sources of information to help you really feel what it was like to live in the times of those that went before us.
Going on into the research sections
Each of our section headings had a picture. That picture suggests what can be found in each section, and are pretty self explanatory. To enter the section, simply place your mouse pointer over the picture and click on it.
Before we actually click on anything and start going off into the sections, it would be as well to know how to get back to the main page- its one thing to go in to what might seem like a maze but possibly more daunting if you don’t know the way out.
Finding your way out
There are various ways of getting back out of the research section, depending on where you are at the time.
If you are simply looking at a section, On the left side of the screen there will always be the navigation box
Navigation
Main Page (< Screen shot, circled in red)
Community portal
Current events
Recent changes
Random page
Help
Donations
Point your mouse cursor over the words Main Page and simply click your mouse, and you are straight back to the main page
At the bottom of each page you will also find a place which will take you back to either where you came from (back to a section) or back to the main page. Sometimes there will be both. Again, just point and click.
Another option is to click on your green back arrow on your browser bar
research
Clicking on this, will take you to the forum part of the site, more specifically the boards that deal with family history research. Here you can ask Questions and opinions of other members, which will, hopefully, be answered in a matter of moments. If there is a question you want to ask, don’t ever feel it’s a silly question - if you don’t know the answer, it’s not silly.
Click on this picture, and you will learn all the fundamental steps in creating your family tree- who to ask, who is who and the logical way to go about growing your tree successfully.
community
Click on this picture, and you will be taken to the community part of the forum, the parts where like minded genealogists take a break from their research and indulge in general conversation as well as interacting socially in the forum Street and much more. All are welcome- its open 24/7 so take some time out of research to relax and socialise too.
Records office
Click on this picture and you will be in the records office section. Here we discover all manner of information about anything that will usually be found associated with records, and information as to what we can expect to find on which records. If you are not sure what info you can find on a census return, for instance, this is the place to find out. The main page covers the basic records, on from this, in other records there are listed many topics from Coroners records to workhouse records.
