As I promised my blog on 06 January 2014 at http://genealogycanada.blogspot.com/2015/01/beginning-genealogy-study-group.html, I watched Dear Myrt’s Beginning Genealogy Session 8 yesterday. I will continue to watch the rest of the study group as it proceeds.
The major topic which was discussed in Sessions 8 was -
How to Search – Do you search by record group eg death records, birth records, newspapers, or do you search by following those ‘bright shiny objects’ - those records that sort of fall your way?
I have got a secret to share. Most professional genealogists search by record groups, and we usually start a new genealogy project by searching census record group.
So follow that advice, and I think you will find it will become more enjoyable to do family history.
