Frequently Asked Questions
I know little about my family. Can I find my ancestors?
YES! You can! There are many records that are public information that can help you build your family tree. When roadblocks occur, you can turn to DNA testing for help.
What is Aimee's Crew?
Aimee's Crew is my YouTube channel membership! You get access to exclusive monthly livestreams, past members-only content, and the free handout of the month. It's the easiest way to learn alongside me.
Are you an employee of Ancestry®?
No. I am an independent professional genealogist whose business is focused on helping you discover your ancestors. I occasionally participate in beta testing at Ancestry®.
I descend from enslaved individuals. I've been told I will never figure out my family tree. Is it impossible?
It is difficult to find the records of those previously enslaved, but it is not always impossible. When you discover things like your enslaved ancestor scrimped and bought their own land, the sense of pride is tremendous.
Are the family trees I see on Ancestry or FamilySearch correct?
Some... there are mistakes in the FamilySearch tree (which is a collaborative tree) and there are incorrect trees in Ancestry. My best advice... verify your family tree yourself! You'll learn much more and know it's as correct as possible.
What tools do I need to get started?
Just enthusiasm and a desire to be the family detective! I'll teach you everything else. Check out my Resources page for tools and guides I recommend.
