Researching Your Own Family History
Researching family history is fun and rewarding.




On this page I'll describe how I went about researching my family tree in the hope that it will inspire others to give it a try. I'll talk about the process I used and any tools or software I found helpful.

I might also include links to interesting genealogy web sites I came across in the course of doing my research, such as:

National Archives and Records Administration Web Site:

www.nara.gov/genealogy

The Shops @ Ancestry.com!

Research Tips
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.
