yelling if the whole query is in all caps. Some researchers may yell
at you for using all caps. If you have hand/wrist problems and cannot

Visit The
ROOTS-L Library, it contains a lot of information on how to get started
with genealogy.
Go through the genealogy lessons
at RootsWeb Guides
to Tracing Family Trees . There are other guides at other sites.
You can find them by doing a Google Search
and typing in "genealogy lessons".
Google is also a good way to find
web sites that contain your surname. Please don't think that all
that is written on the internet or books is the truth. Make sure
that you document your research and if you find someone that has your family
lines on the web make you sure you document their work too. You could
wind up researching the wrong line if you don't.
Check out your local library.
Some have a genealogy department that contains lots of research material.
Some libraries have Ancestry Library Edition for free.. They may
also offer other free resources on the computer such as Heritage
Quest Online .
