![]() The iPad is so fun and easy to use, I'm not surprised that I'm asked all the time, "What family tree app do you recommend for my new iPad?" With its drag, drop, and tap interface, the iPad is such a great device for creating your family tree on-the-go or in your favorite easy chair as you're watching your favorite sport on T.V. on the weekends. So I compiled a list below of some genealogy and family tree apps you can use on your iPad with a quick overview of some of their distinguishing features.
So. Did I miss one that you use on your iPad? Let me and everyone else know in comments below. And? Let us know why you like it so much. =) ~Caroline

Other days, other things that might interest you... ![]() I get asked by people all the time about how to fix the family tree they've started on Ancestry.com. And that's a very good question. I think creating your tree on Ancestry.com is a very good start for a lot of people. You are more likely to have some success at finding some records and information that pertains to your ancestors just because of the size of their databases. In fact, when people ask me which online database they should subscribe to I always reply, "The one that has your answers. And 9 times out of 10, Ancestry.com has the answers to help you solve some of your family history mysteries. Their databases are that big. Further, they have great weekly tutorials on how to search, make it very easy to add stuff you find there to your tree, and they have a great and responsive support system. They deliver value that when compared to traveling to places where documents are stored and preserved, make me ecstatic they exist. But as I mentioned in my post about how to get unstuck on Ancestry.com, you have to step away from your family tree that you have created on Ancestry.com and evaluate things. I see and evaluate a lot of Ancestry.com trees for my potential clients and those who become my clients. And 9 times out of 10, they've only performed research on Ancestry.com, and that is very easy to do. It can be addictive to get caught up in a digital chase for our ancestors. And it happens all the time. That's why one of my suggestions last week was to stop and take a breather and evaluate what you have before continuing your search on Ancestry.com as well as other online databases. And taking that breather and evaluating is even more important if you've never done it before. Here are 10 important steps you need to do before continuing your search and to fix that online family tree you started:
These steps are often skipped while working with an online tree, but they're important. I'm not saying you shouldn't start out online at all. It's fun and it can give you a good quick taste of success to keep you coming back for more. However, stopping, filling in some bare spots, finding proof in your house, getting info from your family members, and evaluating everything can lead you to even more success so you don't get frustrated and stop. After all, you might be the family member who has information I need to keep me working on my own family tree research, and I definitely don't want you to get frustrated and stop. Ever. For those who have been researching for a while, what would you add to this list? What do you wish you knew then that you know now? Please share positive hints and tips in comments below! Remember: It takes a village to make a family's history and to discover family stories. {And you know what that means, right? We're Village People, y'all.
