The Year Ahead – February 12

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

February 12 – Today is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. See his family tree (and the trees of other famous people) at www.wikitree.com

WikiTree is a collaborate single family tree for everyone to enjoy, for free, forever. It boosts to be the most accurate and trusted global tree because they work together, carefully evaluate sources and incorporate DNA. Modern family history is private which means living people are private. Plus, if you sign the Honor Code, you don’t even see advertisements. It started 15 years ago and now the community has 1,078,488 members with 37,133,967 profiles and 12, 8222,782 DNA test connections. 

I highly recommend you create a free login (remember don’t recycle your passwords) and add yourself to the tree, along with your parents and grandparents. Once you reach deceased ancestors, you might be surprise to find your ancestors have already been added and researched. What a great way to find new information and since sources are the backbone of WikiTree, you can evaluate the sources too.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
