Nothing is more important to the research process than deciding what you want to learn. What you want to accomplish may vary, but usually, building up to it with well-documented research will help. It is not practical to thoroughly document <u>all</u> information on <u>all</u> of your lines by yourself. So thoughtfully select a few families of greatest interest to you. Do the genealogical research on those families especially well. Have faith that, in time, someone else will research the families you could not, and join their work with yours through programs like the Family Tree. | Nothing is more important to the research process than deciding what you want to learn.

In order to select a specific research objective, you will first identify several individuals or families you could research, then you will choose one. With one individual or family in mind, you will have a goal and can then identify questions about him or her. Next, select one question as the research objective. Then you will prepare and use a research log. | In order to select a specific research objective, you will first identify several individuals or families you could research, then you will choose one.
