The topic for this week's Zoom session covered practices that many of us fall into that inhibit successful research. Here are the main ideas that we discussed.
Neglecting to contact relatives
Not organizing the information we have gathered
Worrying about spelling
Relying too much on the internet
Verify all information from online family trees
Use the data as clues for new research
Failing to document sources
Making assumptions
Forgetting about cluster research
Siblings provide clues
People married their neighbors!
Families changed locations together
Overlooking clues
Study the census for new research ideas
Read the entire record, including a second page
Giving up too soon!
Return to favorite databases
Ask a friend for help
