7 Intro to Genealogy Genealogy - the study of family ancestry; records, or accounts showing the descent of a family, group or person. Webster s Dictionary

8 Why Interested? Curiosity Desire to leave a legacy for children and grandchildren Need to find out who we are Medical reasons

9 Family History Family trees and genealogy charts provide a framework: names, dates, places, and other facts Family histories provide the stories and bring names and other facts to life

10 Debunking Myths and Misconceptions It s as easy as it looks on T.V. Who Do You Think You Are? Faces of America Everything can be found on the Internet You don t have to know what you re looking for, you just have to start looking (Ancestry.com advertisement)

11 Debunking Myths and Misconceptions But Aunt Betty said so! (family lore) All of those records were destroyed Those who write Blogs or use social media as a research tool are not real genealogists

12 Genealogy is Skill Persistence Serendipity

13 Important First Steps Gather home and family sources Talk to your relatives! Ask for documents and photographs Prepare an Ancestral or Pedigree Chart Free Genealogy Charts and Forms forms.html Start with yourself and work backwards

27 Important First Steps Two key pieces of information: Immigrant s original name Name of town/village of origin Always verify information (whether from online or traditional sources) Focus on North America first: Records easier to access Provides clues to village of origin; Helps you to avoid making critical research mistakes

28 Beginning Your Search Online Make a list of surnames to search and potential spelling variations

29 Beginning Your Search Online When you visit a genealogy Web site, read the instructions! Look for: Help About this site or database Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

30 Beginning Your Search Online Keep detailed notes of successful searches and failed searches Document everything! NOT ALL RECORDS ARE 100% ACCURATE!

31 Key Information to Research U.S. Census Immigration/Emigration Records Vital Records Cemetery Church records Other records Don t overlook siblings or friends and neighbors: FAN Club

39 Proper Source Citations Consult the Board for Certification of Genealogists Book: Evidence, Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian by Elizabeth Shown Mills Genealogy Source Citations Quick Reference (Hidefgen)

40 Research Takes time (results not always obtained right away) Sometimes you may NOT find exactly what you are looking for Some information can be lost forever and unobtainable Like a puzzle - or a good mystery - comes together piece by piece

41 Additional Techniques Join a genealogical society Launch a family website Post to online message boards (e.g. Use social media Blogs Facebook Twitter

42 Summary Start with Home and Family Sources Prepare a family tree Consult public records (online and offline) Obtain copies of important documents Keep notes of missing or incorrect information or unusual occurrences

43 Summary Look in unlikely places for information Organize as you go Cite your sources Network with other genealogists
