Most archives, historical societies, and genealogical societies have special collections of previous research and indexes of genealogical value. To begin the search of an ancestor in these collections, you may wish to begin with available published indexes, both on a national level as well as a local level. Many genealogy databases are on line through various websites.

Nationwide Indexes[edit | edit source]

FamilySearch™ Internet Genealogy Service - Trees contains lineages organized into family groups and pedigrees with an every-name index. This was created from a database formerly known as Ancestral File.

Writing and Sharing Your Family History[edit | edit source]

Sharing your own family history is valuable for several reasons:

It helps you see gaps in your own research and raises opportunities to find new information.
It helps other researchers progress in researching ancestors you share in common.
It draws other researchers to you who already have information about your family that you do not yet possess.
It draws together researchers with common interests, sparking collaboration opportunities. For instance, researchers in various localities might choose to do lookups for each other in remote repositories. Your readers may also share photos of your ancestors that you have never seen before.
