Are you a little overwhelmed with the amount of time it takes to build a family tree? A family tree usually will go back 5-6 generations. At 32 years per generation, that put it at between 150-180 years back or to your great-great-great-great grandparents. If you do the math at 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great great grandparents, 32 great great great grandparents, and finally 64 great great great great grandparents. Excluding brothers and sisters for each, that makes a total of 127 people to research. Add in brothers, sisters, children, etc. and that is a whole lot more people! Give yourself the time you need to find the right names and dates!
You know your family tree wasn't created in a weekend!
