Today on "Living Today," we were joined by Ann Fleming, certified genealogist and former president of the National Genealogical Society. Ann talked with Mario about the process of conducting geneological research in an effort to create your own family tree.

From the simple to the more complex, the Living editors offer a handful of great tips and ideas for designing your very own family tree.

Wonderful episode! Don't forget that many folks who get into genealogy decide to blog about their family history to capture stories, photos, and memories!
