US Army, Retired

Just to let you know a little about myself. I am Retired Army and now have time to work on my family research. I have been working on this project for several years, and have found it to be rather frustrating at times. Before you get started on family research there is one thing you really must learn -

"PATIENCE"

A few research pointers:

All the answers will not be found on the Internet.

All the answers will not be found at all of the hundreds of genealogical societies, county offices, public libraries, etc.

The internet has many and varied locations that may aid you in your research.

Census reports will not be found on the internet. They can be checked at your local LDS Library.

Newspaper articles can be requested from the State Library through your local Public Library with an interlibrary loan. (I found my grandfathers marriage (1880) and divorce notice (1888) this way).

Some Geneological Societies will be able to come up with census information if the area is small enough.
