How to build your family tree online at Geni (www.geni.com).
You can start with your family.
Go online to www.geni.com.
Create one profile for yourself first.
Check to see if your profile or your family tree is already online.
If there is none, continue to build your family tree.
Add one profile and complete the details.
Then add another profile and complete details for that profile.
Keep adding profiles till you think you have everyone you know on your family tree.
Even if you don't know their names, you can use call names or whatever you remember them by.
You have now become a profile manager of your family tree.
Other profile managers may want to help you co-manage your family tree. They will each need to request you to let them co-manage your family tree. You decide.
Sometimes it is best to have a few close family members or relatives to manage your family tree, especially if your have 10 generations or more.
You can merge your family tree with another family tree if you know the correct link(s). Do this merging very carefully. Ask if you are not certain. Do not delete any shared profile as you will also delete someone else's family tree too. Merging can be risky or beneficial.
Here are some slides I made to help you create your own family tree online at Geni. Do not be afraid to try. There is always help online at Geni.
