Welcome to the research section of Family Tree Forum site.

It’s our jewel in the crown, where information is stored in various sections to help in the successful growing of your family tree.

Not only will the information in here help you to grow the tree, you will no doubt find links and sources of information to help you really feel what it was like to live in the times of those that went before us.

Going on into the research sections

Each of our section headings had a picture. That picture suggests what can be found in each section, and are pretty self explanatory. To enter the section, simply place your mouse pointer over the picture and click on it.

Before we actually click on anything and start going off into the sections, it would be as well to know how to get back to the main page- its one thing to go in to what might seem like a maze but possibly more daunting if you don’t know the way out.

Finding your way out

There are various ways of getting back out of the research section, depending on where you are at the time.

If you are simply looking at a section, On the left side of the screen there will always be the navigation box

Navigation
Main Page (< Screen shot, circled in red)
Community portal
Current events
Recent changes
Random page
Help
Donations

Point your mouse cursor over the words Main Page and simply click your mouse, and you are straight back to the main page

At the bottom of each page you will also find a place which will take you back to either where you came from (back to a section) or back to the main page. Sometimes there will be both. Again, just point and click.

Another option is to click on your green back arrow on your browser bar
