December 12 Workshop

Annie demonstrated how to develop a research plan from a few pieces of family information. The plan was then used at the Family History Library to discover birth, marriage and death records that had been microfilmed. Adding a probate file to the mix helped to prove the relationships. Finally, the two families were discovered in census records.

It is interesting that the microfilms we used in the past have now been digitized and can be accessed online on FamilySearch. Everyone should check the locations of their family surnames to see whether this is true for their research.
