The first thing you will need if you intend to put up a home page is reliable software. There are lots of Genealogy Software packages to choose from for making your family tree. I have given a list of the most popular ones at the bottom of this page. You will also need a good HTML Editor if you do not want to spend time and effort learning html. I use IMS Web Engine from Virtual Mechanics because it is the easiest thing I have found and comes with all the bells and whistles if you need them. It is also the least expensive of the new dynamic html editors, gets a five star review from Zdnet, Slaughter house and most of the other well known on-line stores and does a good job.
If you know the area your family came from e.g. Middleton Manchester England, it is well worth your while to join the Family History Society for that area. Not only do you get a small book three or four times a year but the local members who are interested in genealogy will help others far away, in searches, plus they know much more about the locality.
