VGA Hangouts: Timelines – February 27, 2022

Creating timelines is such an effective technique for telling your ancestor’s stories, helping to resolve conflicting information, seeing patterns, connecting to events within the ancestor’s FAN Club (friends/family, associates, and neighbors), and so much more.

I often find that when I write out a timeline that I “see” things that I hadn’t seen before. There are many ways that you can create timelines for your ancestors, such as:

  • Word processing document
  • Spreadsheet
  • Index cards
  • Adding events to online tree/genealogy software

Cyndi’s List has a category on Timelines that you can use for inspiration and education: https://www.cyndislist.com/timelines/.

Come join us and work on your family tree while making friends and having fun. VGA Hangouts is a members-only benefit. If you are not a member, please consider joining us: https://virtualgenealogy.org/membership-join/.
