Trying to build your family tree when you’re estranged from your family can feel impossible. No contact. Missing information. Complicated relationships. So where do you even start?

even when you don’t have access to the people who “should” have the answers.

We’ll walk through:
where to start when you feel like you know nothing
how to work with incomplete or messy family information
what to do when relationships are complicated or unclear
and how to move from scattered memories to real records
