Descendancy research is the process of choosing one of your ancestral couples and identifying all of their descendants. Start with a couple about 4-5 generations back on your pedigree who lived in the early to mid-nineteenth century in an area with available records. You then locate that couple and their children in available records, identify children, children's spouses, and grandchildren. Repeat for each of the children and grandchildren. | Descendancy research is the process of choosing one of your ancestral couples and identifying all of their descendants.
