She had a long line of ancestors on her father’s side, which supposedly arrived until 3 thousand years before Christ in Chinawith what seems to be an important character of those times.

The first thing to do to get this family tree is to register by creating an account, once this is done you can search for ancestors with data such as full name, place of birth Y Date of Birth.

In the tiktoks, the family trees are already completed, however, according to the instructions on the page, this information has to be filled in on your own, since it does not return the entire result automatically.

It is in the same place where you can search for information regarding relatives to complete it, in addition to the fact that, as more information is entered, this will throw up suggestions of kinship.

The family tree it is not exactly a real one, but rather a kind of diagram that intertwines some things with others, in this case, it is characterized by connecting one or more people with their ancestors.

This type of diagram can also be made in the traditional way, that is, hand written but first it will be necessary to do a lot of research.
