All you need to know to get started on The Surname Tree
Once we receive your application, it will be reviewed. We need to be satisfied that you are a bona fide representative of the Scully surname
Once we have granted you an account, you provide us with a relative of this surname with dates (it can be yourself) to set up the tree. After that you can add relatives yourself, either upwards (ancestors) or downwards (descendants). See the Guide section on the biography pages.
In principal, if they are the same surname or directly related, you can. If you stray too far from the trunk of the tree we might require you to start a separate tree
Each relative has their ancestry listed in their biography page.

Biographies are the heart of The Surname Tree. Basic information on the relative is added automatically, it is up to you to put some meat on the bone. See William Ada as an example of a full biography.
You can upload one photo to each section of a biography.
If the back of the photo has anything of interest, make sure you include that as well.
For example, if you click on the photo of Cecelia Doris Vaughan you can see the back of the photo.
TST takes certificates seriously. There is a full set of processes for uploading, transcribing and identifying individuals in birth, baptism, marriage, divorce and death certificates so that for each relative you know which documents mention them. These TST documents are private to the family, although outsiders can purchase a download to contribute to running costs (see Subscriptions). See this working example where each relative provides a link to their biography. The document can be further updated if more relatives are identified.
