As Lisa and I work with members at the Library, we see a LOT of people who do not have the basic research skills to be successful in their family history quest. Maybe it is because they have been told,
"You don't have to know what you're looking for. You just have to look."
WRONG!
If you don't know what you are looking for, you can easily follow the wrong family line.
So this year, we are going to focus on how to do genealogical research. At the beginning of each month we will present a separate lesson on basic family research. The lessons will be:
- Getting Started
- Organizing Your Research
- Vital Records
- Census Records
- Immigration & Naturalization
- Military Records
- Church Records
- Newspaper Research
- Cemetery Research
- Ancestry.com & Ancestry Library Edition
- Family Search
- Preserving Sharing & Publishing Your Work
See you next year...
