This page contains the best sources for doing your genealogy research and for finding old friends and family as well as new friends. The task of genealogy research can be difficult and time consuming. Some define genealogy as that branch of history which involves the determination of family relationships. Webster's New World Dictionary states that genealogy is a recorded history of a person's ancestry, the study of family descent and lineage. But once you succeed, you will find that your genealogy records will be appreciated by everyone in the family.
Genealogy has its own language, similar to other disciplines such as law, medicine or real estate. When tracing your family tree it is common to encounter records filled with archaic, obsolete or legal terms, acronyms and abbreviations that you aren't familiar with. This can make genealogy seem a lot like learning a foreign language to an overwhelmed "newbie." Misinterpreting these terms or applying present-day s to documents created in an earlier century can lead your research in the wrong direction. Taking the time to look up the appropriate meaning of a word or interpretation of an abbreviation is an important part of your family history search.
