Step 2: Look at What is Known About Your Ancestor

by // Leave a Comment

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!
