Genealogy: How to Draw Your Family Tree...
As you are busy collecting information about your family, it can be fun to draw a family tree so that you can symbolize the relationships between everyone. Today, it’s simple to use software to create an amazing art-worthy family tree suitable for framing and displaying, but you can still do it the old-fashioned way if you prefer.

Collect Your Family’s Information
You’ll want to gather together all the information you can, such as your parents’ names, brothers, sisters, half-siblings, adopted siblings and so forth. Include all children and grandparents as far as you can go, as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Write down everything that you can about each of the people and the order in which they arrived in the family. Try to write it down in an orderly fashion so that you can easily keep track. It might help to use 5x7 cards for each person’s information if you’re doing it by hand, or you can do it on the computer using any number of programs like Family Tree Maker: http://amzn.to/2n9pICx
Include As Much of the Following Information As Possible
If you can, include age, date of birth, date of death, height, weight, medical issues, health habits, addictions, illnesses, where they are from, race, religion, sex, and so forth. This information doesn’t really help you make the family tree as much as it helps you to keep records for your family that they may need to find out more information about even more relatives.
