Genealogy Tips

Free from your local public library

  • Most public libraries and state libraries have subscription access to Ancestry.com Library Edition that you can use free of charge. This alone is good reason for getting a library card if you do not already have one. *Access to this premium subscription is typically limited to on-site access only, but it is well worth it.

Free online

  • Find a Grave has evolved a great deal over the years. I recommend using this free and easy to access resource to fill gaps or holes in your research.

remember…

A good rule of thumb is that until you can verify information attached to a record with supporting documentation, do not assume you have accurate information. A reliable ancestor record will have supporting documents attached like census or death records.
