Helm is the Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for FamilyToolbox.net, Inc. He’s the creator and maintainer of the award-winning Helm’s Genealogy Toolbox, Helm/Helms Family Research Page, and a variety of other Web sites. Matthew speaks at national genealogi- cal conventions and lectures to genealogical and historical societies. Matthew holds an A.B. in History and an M.S. in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. April Leigh Helm is the President of FamilyToolbox.net, Inc. April lectures on genealogy and other topics for various conferences and groups. She holds a B.S. in Journalism and an Ed.M. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Together, the Helms have coauthored several books in addition to the five editions of Genealogy Online For Dummies. They include Family Tree Maker For Dummies, Your Official America Online Guide to Genealogy Online, and Get Your Degree Online. Although they collected notes on family members and old photographs for many years, it wasn’t until 1990, while living and working in the Washington, D.C. area, that the Helms began seriously researching their family lines. Upon returning to central Illinois in 1994, the Helms found themselves with limited historical and genealogical resources for the areas in which their ancestors lived. It was then that they jumped into online genealogy. Here’s a little more information about a few of the genealogical Web sites maintained by the Helms: Helm’s Genealogy Toolbox (www.genealogytoolbox.com): An online clearinghouse of genealogical tools and links. HistoryKat (www.historykat.com): A subscription online archive of digi- tized records and documents that enable genealogists to conduct primary research on the Internet. TreEZy.com (www.treezy.com): A site containing a genealogically focused search engine that index sites of interest to genealogists. 01_240571 ffirs.qxp 2/11/08 6:11 PM Page vi 01_240571 ffirs.qxp 2/11/08 6:11 PM Page vii Dedication For Kyleakin and Cambrian.

  • A Genealogical Research
    GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE EDITH GARLAND DUPRÉ LIBRARY Guide and Selected Bibliography Edith Garland Dupré Library University of Louisiana at Lafayette June 2017 INTRODUCTION The Edith Garland Dupré Library and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette are pleased to provide facilities for research in genealogy and family history. You should realize, however, that such study requires serious intent and the commitment of long hours of work. Genealogists must be diligent and inventive. You will delve into a bewildering array of church, family, local, state, federal, and even foreign documents. Interpreting such records often requires a strong grounding in history in order to comprehend their nature and biases. Genealogical research relies on primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are original documents, such as birth, death and marriage records, passenger lists or court records. Secondary sources are works based on primary sources, including published genealogies and histories, and abstracts of original records. Primary sources are generally preferred over secondary sources, but even they are not infallible. It is always necessary to remember the purpose for which the record was made, and how knowledgeable the person supplying the information was. While the Library contains information on every part of the United States and many foreign countries, the focus of our genealogical holdings is the Acadiana region of Louisiana. This guide will provide general information for beginning genealogists at the Dupré Library. WHERE TO BEGIN Start at home! Your own knowledge and that of your relatives form the basis for genealogical research. Besides personal recollections, see what written information can be gleaned from such sources as family bibles, vital records, military certificates, clippings, diaries, letters, baby books, photograph albums, the backs of pictures, etc.
