I have been researching my ancestry and my husband's ancestry for about 20 years. I've learned a lot by trial and error and the information from very helpful people. My biggest advice to those starting out is don't become a "cut and paste" researcher. Ancestry has become so very popular but many people aren't identifying actual facts but are rather relying on the information provided by others as fact. Please use any information found here as a direction for additional research.
