How To Conduct A Genealogy Research

By Anthony Murphy


Bloodline offers a valuable hobby. It gives room for analyst to find out who they are, where they come from and to get to know family members who form their own bloodline. While the task is challenging, it is a great way to learn more about history. The investigation allows one to get to find out some of the places where the family participated in the roles played in the past extended in todays world. It is therefore beneficial to carry out a genealogy research.

You should think about your family tree like a regular tree. Trees have roots, a trunk and branches. The trunk is the only part of the tree that's a whole, and you should use this part on the central figure you're building the line of descent for. Start with yourself and ask the questions: Who, What, When, Where, and How? Identify Who it is you specifically want to research. What do you want to find out about this person? When did this person live, and Where did they live? How and where will you find information on this person?

There are a number of computer applications and online resources that the professional bloodline examiners can use. Don't assume all these items are available to the general public. These types of software programs and sites have bigger listings and information which has not made it to a physical lineage library. This information consists of scanned-in public record information.

When you are searching for your ancestors, you want a place one is able to turn for help. It is important to have a resource you trust and one that you know one is able to find a lot of information from. Well there is a resource that is all that and more. It is an online source and a physical location as well. So you are able do investigation in the method you prefer. The best analysis resources are published source materials, such as vital records, microfilm, census, supplemented by databases, Internet, home sources, and anything that will offer information about a specific person in a specific place in a specific time period.

There is some good free bloodline experimental resources found online. This implies to website which is an extension of the family history library which is one of the most complete genealogical libraries you will find. You don't need to travel long distances to do your investigation if you don't want to, one is able to access most of the records online on the Family Search website. On the website you are able to access documents such as census records, the International Genealogical Index files, and Social Security death records. In addition to these records you can view lineage that has been submitted by other users.

A good bloodline chart is considered the one that includes people and relationships that other family members never knew existed. If you manage to get up to three or more generations before your grandparents your chart will be filled with numerous last names which you can try to extend downwards and see if you can find any additional relatives you didn't know you have.

Of course, don't forget that one can always tap the knowledge of any of the elder living family members in your family. Often, many of the memorable or unique family history stories or anecdotes can only be found within the resources of someone's memory. Talk to your elders. They may give you a delightful surprise, or two.

Not only can you look up records that are stored in the Family Search databases, you can take free online classes as well. There is a wide variety of classes offered on the website on topics ranging from basic lineage analysis to learning how to read old, handwritten documents. The lessons are in video format with downloadable class handouts.
