New FAQ Page: Navigating Our Family History

 I have created a new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on my genealogy site to assist with navigation of all the data. The amount of information, charts, and photos has grown over the years, and I thought this would be helpful.

One of the questions answered is basically where to start for those who are total beginners. I'm hoping this will give you the confidence to jump in and browse around.
