Ten Reasons Why History Resources Solve Our Genealogical Puzzles by Paula Stuart-Warren CG®, FMGS, FUGA
Many of the answers we seek in our family history research can be solved with the use of historical background and details. It could answer why your family moved to that new place, why they moved in a specific year, which church they attended, why they married in a different state, why they aren’t on a certain census, or what happened to Granduncle Elias. Family history is history. Examples in the presentation and handout will provide some paths for you to take.
