Using a Research Outline to Focus Your Genealogical
Research
As a beginner or experienced genealogist, we are often educated about
sources of information to search such as census records or vital records.
All too often though, we access the records we know about and then run into the
proverbial ‘wall’. Many researchers do not know how to or take the time to
methodically make a plan to determine what records are available or what to
research. This presentation will teach you how to use a research outline
to focus your genealogical research, solve your problems methodically and break
through those ‘walls’.
Using Internet
Resources to Find Living Descendants
The Internet is big and all too often when using it for genealogical
research, it yields sites to review but lacks structure or purpose in visiting
the sites. What is lacking is the methodology on how to use the Internet with
focus and a specific goal in mind. This presentation will walk through a real
example of finding living descendants of an individual who immigrated to the
United States in 1851 by utilizing the Internet in an organized fashion – all
without leaving your house.
