Search Hints

GenCircles is a new site for family trees. Your best bet is to search first on the ancestor's and the spouse's name. If the spouse is female, just use her first name. Quite a few researchers omit the maiden name. So it is best to not try to find it. If you get too many responses this way, add the father's name of the ancestor. If you get too few responses, omit the spouse's name and use only the father's name with the ancestor's name.

You could also search on birth and death years. If you do, we recommend that you not search on exact years, but rather search a range of years. If you are not sure of the year, or if the person who submitted the family tree was not sure of the year, you may fail to get a match if you search on exact years.

GenCircles also provides automatic matching and other support if you submit a GEDCOM file to their site.
