Timelines can be an interesting supplement to your genealogy research. A timeline is a chronological listing of historical events, a sort of "history in a nutshell" as it generally is limited to one line or very short entries. A timeline can be general and cover the history of the entire world or a small area such as one county or it can be for a specific subject, such as art, music, literature or war. A timeline can also take many forms — it can be in written form, either as a book or wall chart; it can be a list of events; or a database that can be used by itself or in conjunction with our program.

You can also create or modify the timeline of Joseph Erickson, but when a timeline feature is incorporated into our program, you can display timeline events in with the events in your ancestors' lives.
