Throughout the week we will be posting daily Family History research hints and tips, plus we will be giving you the chance to win some great prizes in our daily competitions!

Today’s tip

You never know what you might find out from talking to your relatives. If you're meeting up with family then why not take along a handy question sheet or chart - that can be found to download by clicking this link to our Start Your Family Tree Week planner http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/static/syftw - and see how much of a family chart you can all fill in!

Today’s competition

Genes Reunited will be there again this year on stand 631- where you will be able to chat to our expert genealogists, meet the Genes Reunited team, and preserve your family photos and documents using our scanning service.
