Research Tips

The Census is very cumbersome but a great Find is the best reward.

Here I might put some tips about researching a family tree, for example: Start with your Parents and get Birth, Death, Marriage documents and from their you might find other family info.

Be sure to evaluate the source of your information. Remember, you can't believe everything you read! And almost nothing you hear!

Remember, most everyone has two family names: your father's, but also your mother's. Don't feel you must restrict your research to just your paternal family tree.
