Tracing ancestors as far back as possible has brought to many people great satisfaction and pleasure. Even documenting one’s family thoroughly for but a few generations can prove just as exciting and fulfilling as a more sketchy documentation across two or three centuries. Each individual ancestral relative previously unknown and genealogically discovered is its own special thrill! No less thrilling is the discovery of records rich with information, which would have remained untouched or which would never have come to light, unless you had gotten caught up in the multiple, magnetic lures of genealogy.
But do you get bogged down when doing on-line research? There is an article at Genealogy in Time, A Guide to Performing Online Genealogy Searches , designed to help you get the most out of your ancestral searches using both the free Genealogy Search Engine and Family Tree Search Engine. These two dedicated genealogy search engines are the most powerful free ones available on the internet.
Happy searching!
