Genealogy Research - Uncovering Your Family Roots

Level 5

Researching genealogy can be a rewarding experience. People often find themselves pursuing this quest for several reasons, including a desire to discover their place in history, the thrill of breaking through "brick walls," and a sense of self-satisfaction from accurate storytelling. Start by asking relatives what they know. Visiting, writing letters, and contacting relatives by telephone will uncover a wealth of information, including birth, marriage, and death certificates, obituaries, family histories, and photos.
