Family Research

This section is being developed.  Watch for information on conducting genealogical research.

Family research can seem to be a daunting task but there are numerous aids that can be helpful.  Most genealogists recommend that the first step in developing a family history is to interview family members and record whatever is known.  There may be some “facts” that will be false.  It does not matter; incorrect information will often lead to more complete and accurate records from which the family history can be constructed.  You are invited to download the simple Family Pedigree Chart.  Complete it and see where it will lead you.
