We have provided a list but remember, this is only a suggestion. It is by no means the only list a beginner should refer to. The important thing is to be creative. Imagine what might be around your home, utilize what you have, keep records on your note cards, pedigree charts, and family group sheets, and be certain to record the source of your information on your research log. Above all, have fun.
Genealogy is a hobby that provides great pleasure.
Terry and Jim Willard hosted the ten-part PBS series Ancestors . They have researched their genealogy fifteen generations back on both sides.
