The goal of descendancy research is to find descendants of an ancestral couple. While ancestral research starts with you and goes back in time, descendancy research starts with an ancestral couple you have identified and comes forward to the present time. Before you can do descendancy research, you must first identify a starting ancestral family. To find that family, you may need to do some traditional family history research and then move to descendancy research. Descendancy research can lead you to important clues, contacts, or records such as family Bibles that you might not find if you researched only direct ancestors. Collaborating with new contacts about the new clues you find may help you get past dead ends in your ancestral research. [[How to Find Descendants in the United States|Read more...]]
