Genealogy is a huge word that is the study of one's family.

Here are some cool rules to make it easier:

Robyn's Rules:

- Pics or get out

- get someone to proof your work (especially for translations)

- just cause it is on a website doesn't make it always right

-Professionals have designations or/and government-issued titles.

-remember you buy someone's time and skills- respect that- all of that is optional

-There is always something to prove.

-There is always another source

-Not everyone is honest

- Eat and bio break when going down the rabbit hole

-Respect is a two-way street and it takes years to build with seconds to drop off

-In the event of a fire, divorce or worst case what are you willing to lose?
