We have an agenda at “Genealogy Tip of the Day. It is a simple one: “get you thinking about your research.”
We want you to think about the information you obtain and how it got in the record you located. We want you to think about your assumptions. We want you to think about what sources may be available where your relative lived–all those sources. We want you to think about your ancestor’s social class, ethnic group, educational level, occupation–and how those things impact the records and the story that was left behind. We want you to think about how you search. We want you to think about how you analyze, organize, and preserve your information.
Readers may not agree with every post we make and, as they say, “your mileage may vary.”
