Sometimes writing\u00a0tips is like\u00a0shooting at a moving target. I have readers with a wide variety of skill levels, research experience, and non-genealogy backgrounds. Consequently I try and have tips that may help those at a variety of levels. What’s new to you may be old hat to someone else and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Our real goal is to get you to thinking about your research–with the idea that it is easy for any of us to occasionally overlook an approach, a resource, or a technique.<\/p>\n

That’s another reason why I usually write tips as I’m actually researching. I think that’s the best way to keep them as “fresh” as possible. That’s also why you may notice them in spurts on certain topics–I don’t really schedule them out as far in advance as I sometimes should. \u00a0And that’s also why I only write tips about things where I at least know something. It’s easy enough to make the occasional mistake on a topic with which I’m familiar. It’s easier to do that if I write about something with which I’m unfamiliar–so I don’t.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading and for being a part of\u00a0Genealogy Tip of the Day<\/em>. It is appreciated.<\/p>\n
