| |
| # '''[[Identify What You Know|Identify what you know]]:''' Work from the known to the unknown. Don't jump straight back to a distant ancestor. Begin with the present and confirm/document the information and relationships as you work your way back. | |
| # '''Document/source your tree:''' As you gather information, identify where and who each piece of information came from. [[Evaluate the Evidence|Evaluate how reliable the sources are]], and ensure you are interpreting them correctly. Don't simply accept ancestral information on your tree. Instead, look for records or other reliable sources to support each date, place, and relationship.
| |
| # '''[[Decide What You Want to Learn|Decide what you want to learn]]:''' Have a specific research goal or objective. This is defined by pursuing a [[A_Guide_to_Research#2._Decide_What_You_Want_to_Learn_About_Your_Family|specific piece of information]] about a specific ancestor. An example of a ''bad'', or ''too-generic'' research goal is: "I want to know more about my great-grandfather." An example of a ''good'' research goal is: "I want to find the marriage date of my great-grandparents."
| |
| # '''[[Select Records to Search|Select records to search]]:''' Each country's record-keeping practices are different. See your country's [[Czechia Record Finder|Record Finder]] table to determine what kind of record could provide the desired ancestral information. Search the desired records.
| |
| # '''[[Use the Information|Analyze/use the information]]:''' When you find new sources, carefully [[Evaluate the Evidence|evaluate them]] to ensure they are about the correct ancestors, and that the information in the evidence is being accurately interpreted. [[Transfer_the_Information#Cite_Your_Sources|Cite]] or document your sources in your family tree establish the accuracy of your findings.
