Opis

Putting your ancestors back in the old country and making sure you have them in the correct place and time can be a challenge. This research guide takes you into the immigration, emigration process and the records created on both sides of the ocean. We also teach you to read gothic script and old-style English handwriting, developing research strategies, and how to locate and use the records to identify your ancestors. In-depth analysis, historical understanding, and using the correct jurisdictions are critical to your research success. How much data you extract from the records, how carefully you study that information, and your level of understanding of the records and the context of the facts they hold dictates your research success. This research guide will give you some great resources, strategies, and instruction helping you with your family history research questions.
