lesson 7: the circle of success

watch the video "The Research Process"

1. gather - everything you already know about your genealogy
2. choose - a question you want to answer (a simple question with only 1 answer)
3. find - what you don't know (ask the person, look for a document)
4. evaluate - take the new info you found and decide if it answers your question; consider the source of your information
5. share - once you've found good information, share it with others online or in paper form

(get help) - help is in the center of the circle if this sounds hard

challenge: spend 5 minutes and get started!

There are many resources:
family tree contains approximately 141 million new record hints from 86 indexed collections
obituaries now include a text transcript or viewable image with the indexed data

extended family members also indexed with obituary
