Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories. Local histories should be studied and enjoyed for the background information they can provide about your ancestors’ life-styles and the communities and environment in which they lived. They describe the settlement of an area and the founding of local churches, schools, and businesses. You can also find mention of early settlers, soldiers, and civil officials, and histories of local families. Even if your ancestor is not listed, information on other relatives may provide important clues. A local history may suggest other records to search. | Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories.
