The subject of the mini-topic was Using FamilySearch and Ancestry efficiently by narrowing a search to a specific place or database. We also looked at ways to overcome a complicated Polish surname during census research.
Maureen mentioned two of our club library's many resources. These can be used during workshops or checked out for two weeks.
Moorhead Magazines occasionally publishes magazines that deal with a specific place or type of research. Included in our club library are "Tracing Your Ancestors: Beginner's Guide," "Tracing Your Germanic Ancestors," "Tracing Your War of 1812 Ancestors," "Tracing Your Italian Ancestors," "Tracing Your Female Ancestors" ( 2 volumes), "Tracing Your Eastern European Ancestors" and "Tracing Your Scottish Ancestors." All articles in the magazines contain information on those specific subjects and include many useful websites.
We also have a useful group of "Quick Guides" on various subjects. These are laminated sheets that are generally four pages in length. Topics include immigration research, English genealogy, migration routes, Scottish genealogy, finding female ancestors, Irish genealogy, Ellis Island and German genealogy.
