Genealogy Records - Scout Out Those Documents - Step # 2 in Searching Your Ancestors
By Elizabeth Larsen


Start with yourself. You probably know where your school records, birth certificate, diplomas, sports records, marriage license, church records, etc are. Look for any record with your name written on it. Then start looking for the records and pictures of the rest of the family. Start putting these records in one safe spot.

Old documents are important but the use of computer technology and the things you can find using it is very illuminating also. I have found identifications jotted down on pictures that have faded through the years that could be read by scanning and enlarging greatly. Ink has become readable when contrasts have been played with. It is so exciting to find a name and a face together to help identify.
