KATHY DONALDSON, a member of Liverpool and South West Lancashire Family History Society who is completing a 13-week placement at Liverpool Record Office, shares her tips for researching your family tree.

Add yours to the bottom and I'll include them in a future blog...

1. When starting to research your family tree it is important that you start with yourself.

2. Write down everything that you know, dates, surnames, maiden names and any relatives that you know of.

ONE of my New Year's resolutions is to scan the six boxes of old family photos that have been sitting in my parents' loft for the past 20 years and form a photographic family tree.

I'll keep you up to date with how I'm getting on - and ask for help with any mysteries I come across - as I go along. I would love to hear from you if you're in the middle of a similar project.

In the meantime, I thought the New Year is a good time to share some useful genealogy links. We ran a series on the subject in the Daily Post last year and it's still up-to-date and worth having a look at. It includes lots of good links to other sites.
