First I bought the genealogy software RootsMagic. It's a database program and it also
builds the web page you saw, automatically, after my data is entered.
To get the data, I went to
www.familysearch.org (a Latter-Day Saints family research site,
the Mormons have all the info on us) to research. After I get the search results from the
site, I download the GEDCOM file of the results and import it into the RootsMagic
software. The ancestral file number comes from the Latter-Day Saints data. After importing
the data, if the pedigrees (family relationships) aren't already connected by the
GEDCOM pedigree file, I do more research and connect them manually. I've gone to
public records sites of towns (like Warwick) to verify info, I've also used commercial
sites like
Ancestry.com to round out my info.
