More Online Resources

Another great site which allows you to check state resources is: www.ancestorhunt.com/genealogy_news_state_resources.html

Once at the site, choose your state from the map and then check the lists of resources such as birth, marriage, death, public records, queries, research guides, obituaries, various databases, surname sites concentrating on that state, military records and other recommended sites.

Again, always verify the pedigrees that you find online. I treat them as signposts, leading the way, but I always want documentation, as a good researcher should. Oftentimes these pedigrees aren't complete, lack geographic locations and family members, so you should contact the researcher, network with other researchers, and check ancestry.com and others for census documentation. Filling in the branches and leaves on your family tree has never been EASIER!!!
