Tuesday's Tip - learn by watching others do something.

Tuesday's Tip - a great way to learn is to watch how others do something. A good example is one of my favorite genealogy shows TLC's Who Do You Think You Are? The first episode of this season is now online (you can watch without commercials). What to watch out for - references to the Great Migration (for all of you whose ancestors came to the colonies early on) and to research in English records (those go way back and it helps to read Latin!). A great resource for the Great Migration is the New England Historic Genealogical Society NEHGS (they have a wonderful website at AmericanAncestors.org).

Watch the show for some family and social history, a bit of treachery, and all kinds of ideas for records you might want to include with your research if your roots are British.

Of course - then you could add all that information into the events/facts section of your Legacy family file. How I wish one of the WDYTYA shows would follow one lucky "regular person" doing this type of research trip. Do you have any British ancestors? How far back have you taken your research? What records have you used and how have you incorporated your research into your Legacy family files? How do you enter the locations for your British research?
