- Timelines are crucial to your genealogy research! From putting your ancestor in place and time to sorting out ancestors with the same names, creating a timeline is one of the MOST important resources you can create for yourself. In this video I am showing you how to create a genealogy timeline using Google Sheets.

I’m in the middle of making one right now, for a family with an extremely complex marital history. Very useful!
This is so helpful! I've used a variety of timelines using different methods and they don't seem to be the best for me. I will try this,thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This is so incredibly timely....
I have spent decades on my adoptive families. Some years ago I got my bio families straightened out and have worked hard on those.
But it is time to go back to my adoptive families and make more progress in terms of fine details, and timelines, and remembrances, and working timelines to create narratives, and get those online for the future.
My younger brother has grandkids, and I remember and know so much more. But he is not the historian....
So it's time to get that worked up.
Thanks again!
Simple but effective, I'm going to make one for an ancestor now! Thanks for sharing
I love timelines, they are so helpful and your explanations of the little tricks make it so much easier. Thank you for doing this video Lisa.
Thank you. I am looking forward to trying this!
That’s very helpful information to me. I’m not well acquainted with spreadsheets, but I could do this! And, it helps so much to know how to organize the information. Thank you. Maybe you could try to speak a little slower.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Excellent idea for staying on track; opportunity for many ah--ha moments.
Interesting. Thanks.
Thanks - I did not know about Google Sheets.
You can group each decade to easily hide and unhide them without having to highlight and hide the decade again.
Thank you for this info. I did find it a little hard to understand exactly what you did sometimes, simply because I am new to Google Sheets. I'm also confused; how do you save the template, yet also save several different filled in templates?
Google saves the template automatically in Google Drive after you create them.
Don’t you lose a lot of functionality with the merged cells?
Specifically - pivot tables and other advanced data manipulation tools are hampered by the merged tables. No?
Small world. I was noting "our" Johana Barrett while you were doing "yours."
She’s still a mystery to me, but one day I’ll solve her story!
@@LisaLissonAYMC ours was adopted - left as a foundling in Ireland, so that's probably as far as we can go
