The search to find your family roots is a major task. It involves digging through photo albums, records, notes, libraries, court documents, and dusty papers in boxes. With the Internet, the ability to find all kinds of information in a little cleaner way just adds to the lists of information you still have to dig through.

We share some of our tips and resources for finding genealogy information that we’ve discovered during our family history search. Most of these are related to our own research, but some of them are bookmarked information for us to use later, when the opportunity arises. We hope you will find some new resources for your own genealogy research.
