Learning More About Your Ancestors Online: Genealogy Guides for Newbies, Hobbyists, and Old Pros

My journey to discover my personal family history led me to document what I discovered about my ancestors. In addition, I documented how I found the information. This led me to create a “learning” website TheAncestorHunt.com. For years, TheAncestorHunt.com has provided links to tens of thousands of free online collections intended to help you through your research journey. Along the way, many articles were published about the many different types of genealogical records and how best to find, acquire, and analyze these records. More recently, dozens of Quick Reference Guides or Quicksheets have been written to guide you on your genealogy research journey. Now, many of these helpful resources have been compiled here as a convenient, enhanced, and updated collection for researchers to find greater success and pleasure in their genealogy endeavors. The easy-to-use guides in this book, Learning More About Your Ancestors Online, enable you to become a master researcher in all kinds of genealogical record categories. Whether it be a list of links to free online collections, or what types of documents you should research in a certain genealogical category, our one goal is: Make it easier for you to find stuff. I sincerely hope that this book helps to achieve that goal.
