Family History is Healing
Step 2: Look at What is Known About Your Ancestor
If you missed Step 1, find it HERE.
Now that you have chosen an ancestor to research, look at their person page on FamilySearch and see what is already known about them. What sources are attached? What information is given in the sources? Is there any useful information in their memories tab? Is there adequate proof that their parents, spouse, or children are correct? Take a look and see where there are gaps and information that is not sourced adequately. Take note of where they lived. Did they move around? Where did their parents live? Just get to know your ancestor!
I will be sharing more on instagram.com/moderngenealogy this week about merging duplicates, attaching record hints, and analyzing sources, so be sure to head over there if you want to learn more!

“My great grandmother, Ruth Owens McGee, was born in Malad, Idaho. She was the granddaughter of Welsh pioneer Saints who were among the first families to settle the area. In 1906, she graduated from St. Mark’s nursing school in Salt Lake City. Her training as a nurse helped put food on the table during the Depression, when her husband lost his business. This was a woman who knew how to swing into action when times were tough. That pioneer spirit was passed down to her, and it is something that inspires me to also be that kind of woman!”
