However, in this day and age most of us do not live in the same town as our ancestors. This is where the internet comes in handy. You can access records from all over the country without leaving your home. You can even meet long lost cousins from branches of the family tree that you didn't even know existed. Like anything else, when using the internet for research, a search engine is a good place to start.
Search engines are the most widely used tools on the internet.
Anyone, anywhere in the world, can type in a few keywords and in a matter of seconds find the information he or she needs. That is why it is a good idea to try a variety of search engines. Because each search engine operates differently it is the only way to know the most effective way to search using that site. This will help to find not only sites about Cherokee genealogy, but also sites about your particular family line. Google - One of the most popular search engines out there.
