Where do I start researching my family genealogy? How do I record what I find? How do I know what is true? Where is information available?

We have all asked these questions and each one is valid. In this presentation, each of these questions will be answered and many more. Many of the proof documents illustrated have come from the presenter’s own family research. This presentation will leave you wanting to explore the free and subscription-based resources. You will discover what is available in local public and private libraries.
