Research Help

Are you just getting started?
I can help you by doing a general search (for 1 hour) of one of your lines for just $10.00. If my search turns up no information, you pay nothing!!
This general search is also great for family reunions. Imagine being able to tell your family a bit of history that they did not know!!
To find out more-please e-mail me!!!
 
TIPS FOR RESEARCHERS!!!!

* Be sure to evaluate the source of your information. Remember, you 
   can't believe everything you read!

 
* 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.
 
*Document-Document-Document-DOCUMENT!!!!! Always write down
  where you find your information. That way you will not repeat sources.
 
*Talk to everyone in your family. Every tree shaker that I know has a
  story of, "if only I had talked to.."
 
*ALWAYS write names on back of photos!! I can not stress this
  enough!!! It is very sad to have a beautiful photo that is of some
  unknown family member.
