About Genealogy Basics
Practical genealogy guides: research methods, family trees, DNA ethnicity tests and matches, and records for Italian, Polish, European, Asian, Latin and US ancestry.
Who this site is for
Family historians who want clear help with research, family trees, DNA tests and finding records in the right country.
How the guides are written
- Answer first. Each guide leads with the direct answer, then explains the why and the how.
- Practical numbers. Concrete values you can use, with ranges rather than false precision.
- Connected, not repeated. Short, focused articles link to the in-depth guide for their topic, so you can go as deep as you need.
- Dated. Every article shows when it was published.
