Put every event in context. If your ancesor sells property, ask yourself: how old was he? was he getting ready to leave the area? was he having financial problems? was he selling to a child or other relative? did he buy other property about the same time? Don’t look at a record all by itself. Put it in the context of other things that were taking place in your ancestor’s life. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
