In-depth Genealogy Research

The goal with an in-depth genealogy research is to have a continuous trail that ultimately points to further documentation and further fact-finding.

When doing a genealogy in-depth research people often make the mistake of using whatever records they have compiled to search for information on their relatives rather than using the records to uncover additional information.

By uncovering every record you possibly can find, you greatly improve your chances of finding the most descendants. Some of the most helpful records are those found in places of worship.

Marriage, baptismal and burial records can go a long way in supplementing other vital records.

When searching for a particular family name, be sure to use every type of spelling possible.

For example, if you were searching for the last name Cambell, you would search for Cambell, Cambel and so on.

Many times immigrants will change the spelling of their last names, by rearranging or dropping a letter or two, once they arrived in another country. If during your genealogy search you find an individual with a similar last name that lived in the same time and location of your ancestor look into that more deeply.
