Bag om Finding Your Ancestors Simplified
A Book for the Curious, Amateur and Serious Genealogists
A Simple Guide To Finding Your Ancestors
Are you thinking about creating your family tree and wondering how to get started? Are you already a genealogist but looking for more than just a name and date of your ancestors? Are you confused on where to find more details for your ancestor's biographies?
The author has been working on her own family trees, now four key surnames, for over 50 years. She created grids, bios and background historical data filling hundreds of pages. She shared tips for several years in magazine articles. To help you find missing pieces in your family tree author, Carol A. Wirth also included a genealogy section in her earlier book THE WORLD OF YOUR ANCESTORS - GENERAL INFORMATION - VOLUME 3. She expanded the investigation process and created FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS SIMPLIFIED. You will find valuable data and learn what to expect during your genealogy search.
FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS SIMPLIFIED suggests possible topic areas to make exploring your family tree easier than ever before. Are you confused about what records are available or where to find them? The author shares valuable insight into records like church, cemetery, county and town plat, foreign, military and taxes.
Learn more about census reports, death assets and social security. Did you know you can access old newspapers to find wedding, birth or death data? Their details can make you feel you attended the event (wedding, reception, anniversary party). Do you know how boundary and date changes and language can complicate your investigation?
Are you curious about name origins? You will learn how names and surnames came to be. Discover what it was like to be an immigrant coming to America and applying for early naturalization. Each result found can give you a peek into your ancestor's lives. Genealogy research is endless with so many names or topic areas you could research. The author gives starting and continuing family tree researchers valuable information to make the best of the time you do chose to spend.
Researchers will also get ideas and advice about sharing and saving your family history, evaluating your findings and keeping an open mind and trying not to be judgmental about how life was in the past. You can't change the past but can learn from it or be thankful things have changed. You can also review some pros and cons about DNA testing.
FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS SIMPLIFIED is an easy way to find where to get data you seek and how to understand it. Information included can eliminate some confusion, stress and save you time. Any research topic area can contain clues to learn something new or update your family tree grids and biographies. Enjoy your genealogy journey.
