Phase IV : Start Your Research
Start your research the easy way by finding a "Family
History Center" near you. The Family History Centers
of The Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) has a
tremendous collection of genealogical information.
What's best of all is that you do not have to become a
member of the church in order to use their libraries.
It's also FREE. (You do have to pay for copies and
microfilm you order from Salt Lake City) They even
show you how to use the library. Next, find a good
library with a genealogy section. This, in most cases,
is your local main library. Remember to keep careful
notes of where you found what. This will keep you from
perusing the same sources twice and will also allow
you to easily review previous sources. Get some
genealogy software. There are several good commercial
and shareware packages out there, such as : Brother's
Keeper and Family Tree Maker. Start with a Shareware
program and if that's all you need, stick with it. By
starting with a Shareware program you will also know
what additional features you will need in a comercial
software package, if you decide you want one.
