A few reminders:
- tips are short–and not meant to be extensive, academic discussions of a topic
- tips are reminders–all of us forget things from time to time
- tips may send you looking–for more details on that topic
- tips may not apply in all areas and time periods–check and see if that concept applies to your research situation
- tips are sometimes basic–we’ve got people at a variety of levels who participate and we were all beginners at one point in time
And thanks to all who participate in Genealogy Tip of the Day! It is appreciated.

When I mentioned that I was going to see my great-grandparents graves, my mother told me not to bother, because she could tell me what was on the headstones. I insisted, and am glad I did. She did not remember that their dates and places of birth were inscribed there. I did verify the information elsewhere, but it gave me the starting hints that I was missing
Thank you! Love the Tip of the Day
We are always glad to hear that! Thanks!
