These records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These can be excellent sources of information that can save you valuable time. Because they are secondary sources of information, however, they must be carefully evaluated for accuracy. ===Family Trees=== *[https://www.familysearch.org/search/family-trees FamilySearch Genealogies] **Or to filter for oral genealogies, click on "+ Collections".
