    BEGINNING GENEALOGY Lorraine Minor 301-229-3515 [email protected] May 2019 THE GENEALOGY RESEARCH PROCESS (This is a circular process) For an excellent refresher of this process, see https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Research_Process 1. Develop a Research Plan. The purpose of a research plan is to focus your research. Your research plan should discuss what you already know, what you are searching for and where you plan to perform your research. You can record the results in the research plan. 2. Perform the research. Record exactly what you searched for including different spellings of a surname, different combinations of on-line searches, exactly where you searched and the date and place of the search. When doing the research remember to read the introductory and explanation material, record the exact source (copying the title page helps), look at neighboring pages and if possible making a copy of the document found. When you make copies, record the source information on the copy. If you download an image, record where you stored the image in your research report. If your search yielded no results, note that information, so you don’t repeat the search another time. See http://tinyurl.com/o3y9yel for a discussion of the Research Report. 3. Record and Evaluate the Information. Enter the information into your genealogy software or online family tree. As you are recording the information, note differences in spelling of names. These alternate spellings can be used when doing future research. Record every bit of information including negative or conflicting information and evaluate the new information as to its reliability and how it compares with what you already know.

  • FAMILY HISTORY & CULTURAL ROOTS (April 2004 Edition) by Dr
    K-12 School and College Projects ~ Community Events ~ Family Reunions ~ Gift to Your Family ~ Your Legacy ~ Just for Fun An Internet Guide HOW TO FIND YOUR FAMILY HISTORY & CULTURAL ROOTS (April 2004 edition) by Dr. Andy Anderson Wells Fargo Chief Historian [email protected] For generations, members of your family have sent you the historical equivalent of a message in a bottle. They launched them from every prairie schooner, riverboat and stagecoach ride across America, from every farm, ranch, small town, and big city in America, and from every corner of the world with every immigrant’s voyage to America. Every day now, these messages, in the form of historical documents and records, are coming ashore from the vast ocean of information we call the Internet. Ask your family members – parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, outlaws – and family friends to join you in finding them. It’s a great family project that spans time and distance, and often brings relatives closer together with a sense of reunion. In the blink of an eye, the Internet makes it possible to do much of the searching from your own home. It’s also an adventure with many surprises that’ll be part of your legacy – your own message in a bottle – to future generations of your family. STEP 1 – Start with just one name – yours, an ancestor’s, or a family surname Go online to Google, www.google.com, or Yahoo!, www.yahoo.com, and type a single name, or a family name, in the SEARCH box (like this: “Patrick O’Reagan” or “O’Reagan family” – using quotation marks helps narrow the results).
