Learning about your ancestors is fun! It’s detective work at its best. Discovering those who came before you is a treasure hunt with great rewards! Ancestry Consulting by Aimee and my Aimee Cross - Genealogy Hints KZbin channel were born out of a desire to help others discover their family history. I have been working on my genealogy since a teenager and have been helping others as a professional genealogist for almost 10 years. Whether breaking through a brick wall, finding a DNA cousin, determining parentage through DNA and conventional genealogy research, or discovering your family origins, I want to help you find your family! While I specialize in United States genealogy, these videos outline research methods which will help you research your family history anywhere. Happy hunting!

Thanks!

[@GenealogyGrandmother]

Thank you for pointing to a good source of information. I would like to be a bigger fan of Family Search but after seeing other's work or lack there of I just can't wrap my heart around the One-Tree concept. People are just to accepting of that low-hanging fruit. Love your channel! Thanks, #GenealogyGrandmother

[@AncestryAimee]

Thank you! True about low hanging fruit but that’s evident on Ancestry’s trees too! Oh well. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

What are your thoughts on Wikitree?

[@AncestryAimee]

It’s not at all like FamilySearch Wiki. It’s more like the FamilySearch tree as it’s a collaborative tree. I don’t post client trees on collaborative trees because that’s not my place, but I love that people are there working together. I love that it’s free. I like that they want sources to add a person to the tree. It’s not a place to find records though, unless you see a source someone added for someone you’re interested in. I actually haven’t spent a lot of time there and haven’t joined, but I really should.
