Often, many believe that there is somehow a magic formula for "knowing how to do it." They may delay; waiting to "be taught" to research their families. Many want classes and believe that classes will teach them to do research. Classes and workshops are wonderful but are mostly motivational. I enjoy them myself. But basically one learns by going to a library and getting started. Knowledge is gained by mastering the use of one resource or tool at a time. This is true of the beginner or professional. Classes and workshops motivate us to try new things and we teach ourselves as we jump into the research. Start with the present and move backwards. You will learn as you go. Learn what resources are available locall y for you to do research. Start there. Start with your parents' or grandparents' generation. The following li st contains resources that could be examined easily by a beginner. Each item should be viewed as a new resource that can be mastered. The next generation back will have others. 1£ you start here and move back, by the time you get to pre­ Civil War research, you will have a start on knowing what to do to move backwards to the more diffi cult research. Idea li st for post-1 900 research: Social Security Death Index- Available on CD commercially, at local LDS Family History Centers, and via the lnternet. Contains birth, death, and residence at death for many who have died since 1964. Birth and Death Indexes- Kentucky and many other states have birth and death indexes available on microfiche and in book form. These will lead to examination of birth and death certificates which contain much valuable information. 1900, 19 10, and 1920 Census-Avail able on microfilm and in book form for some localities. The Kentucky Library has these for every Kentucky County. Ask about the Soundex if you are not sure of the county in which they li ved. Marriage records-Available at the county courthouses or on microfilm at the State Archives or LDS Family History Centers. Transcribed records are available in book form in some li braries and for sale by the authors. Check county historical and genealogical societies for book availability. Obituaries-Many newspapers have been microfilmed. Check your local library for availability. Get started. The fun is in the hunt.
