Resources suggested by other
people doing genealogical research:
From Dorothy Hall, an
educator for homeschooled students.
One student, Gloria, found and highly
recommends this resource site:
From
Ancestry to Archives: How Libraries Are Revolutionizing Family Tree
Research
From Carolyn Farmer, of
Colorado Student
Success.org. She noted that
has an excellent approach on
How to Start Family History Research. The site focuses on
Croatian Family history research, but the approach and specific tools
are universal and very good for anyone trying to research their
family's genealogy.
From Joe Laurel: for genealogical researchers tracing their European
roots, try
OurPublicRecords, with resources for each country
to help with the search. Thanks, Joe.
While Payton Bass's Girl Scout troop was working
on their Family Heritage Fun Patch in 2023, her troop
leader encouraged parents to also work with the Scouts at home to
explore family history. Payton and her fellow Scouts found these unique
family history research guides:
