My goals here at Genealogy Tip of the Day are pretty simple. Iwant to make people aware research pitfalls, research procedures, sources, and terminology.
And I try and do this in short tips. That means that many tips are not complete, lengthy discussions of a topic. There may be exceptions that would take too long to discuss fully. Generally those tips are at most four sentences long.
I try and keep each tip to the point, with the thought that:
- some people just need a reminder
- others will see something new and decide they need to learn more about it
Suggestions for additional tips are always welcome.

Your genealogy tips are the best thing I have come across recently! They are such good instruction and/or reminders. Thank you
You are welcome! I am glad you find them helpful.
Love your short and to the point tips! I can keep up with them on a daily basis, whereas I often get behind on the others that are longer…also very good, but hard to stay up to date with them. Thanks!
You are most welcome and thanks for your comment. I try and keep the tips really short–as mentioned they are usually a reminder of things a person already knows or a prompt to make a person go digging into it further. The Rootdig blog that I write is usually longer and I try and save the really long stuff for the newsletter.
Thank you for pointing out the civil war draft registrations. I found some information that helps with my genealogy tree.
Glad it helped.
