    How do I start my information, to form my tree? I know I start with myself, grandparents & branch out with on each name, with spouse, marriage, etc.? I don't know where to begin to connect with others on family tree.

    I would start here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/gettingstarted/

    If that doesn't help, please post again.

    Great suggestion from Mandy Shaw- read all you can in the help articles in FamilySearch. I also think it’s quite fun and satisfying to take the information you have at home and just begin to enter it in your tree. As you add parents, grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles, especially the deceased members of your family, the tree will begin to connect you with other branches and will fill in. I also have loved adding pictures to my tree so that when I pull up the pedigree, each person has at least one picture there. It really makes your tree come alive. Use the memories app and your phone to make adding those pictures easy. And stay in touch if you do need more help!
