Methods to help you have the results you seek
1. Record
Keeping is Critical
2. Timeline is
a boost for research
3. Know your
Census’s Difference
4. Go back to where you were before and recheck for new data, especially FamilySearch.org.
5. Do not
waste steps : > )
Do you wonder what that statement means?
1 1. When doing census research always, check page
before and after page your looking at for more kin. Save if some are there. I was taught 20 up 20 down but since have learned page
before and page after saves time, verses having to go back.
2. When
researching a book. Make sure your using the Research Log, with page date,
name, title, library affiliate etc. Just in case you find a link to more people
involved in that family. Always use your Research Log, : > )
3. Same
applies for Online Research, catalogue it and be able to quickly go back
to reinforce or gather more
information.
4. Do
not be afraid of Archive Research, I have found it the most fun of all the
research events I have done.
5. Become
aware of what inhabitants created the state your researching, makes a
difference to what the library will have in it’s archives.
