Research Tips
Be sure to evaluate the source of your information. Remember, you can't believe everything you read!
Please remember
that when you are researching anything that has been included in a private report such as this that you sometimes need to
verify the information you have found.
I always try to find legal documents to verify what I have found online before
adding it to my site or my records.Once you have a persons birth or death date and place it is easy enough to get the records
from that local court house. The LDS Library has a wealth of information on microfilm and micro fische, but remember also
that some patron submitted information could be wrong. Always try to follow up with actual documentation if you can.I have
been able to verify many things at thier library once I got a small clue as to where or when the person was born or died.
Remember, most everyone has two family names: your father's, but also your mother's. Don't feel you must restrict your
research to just your paternal family tree.
