General Research

When helping a patron or new genealogist it's important to know what is available and where to find it.


Make sure you're looking for the records in the right place by checking maps of the time period. Also check the "Handybook for Genealogists" or "Redbook" for state or county line boundary changes. You can find some helpful links on our Geographic Resources page.
