Genealogy Research

Genealogy is the study of one’s own family or their roots.  Doing family tree search can be

an exciting adventure and can sometimes make up who a person is. But beyond what you can get from you older relatives and what they can dig up in the attic, most people do not know how to research their family history.

The most obvious place to find information today is the internet. Luckily there is no shortage of information here. You can find anything on the internet you just have to know how to do it.

 The most obvious sources on the internet to research genealogy are geneology websites. There are great websites that offer several different sources of information. On these sites you can look up marriage licenses, birth or death certificates, military records, census records, wills, or even old tax information. The only tricky thing with trying to research your family history through these types of sites is filtering out which ones really are your relatives. 

By knowing bits and pieces of your past history, you are able to fill in blanks.  It is so much fun and a real challenge!
