Those Summer Research Trips

5/20/2013

0 Comments

 
It's that time of year again, summer, when the family historian is planning that research trip to find their ancestors. Or you may be coming back to the home county of your grandparents to attend the family reunion. Why not stop by the local library, courthouse, or historical society to do a little research for that elusive great grandparent? Make sure you do your pre-planning before you leave home. Look up all the places you plan to do research in. What are their hours of operation? Where are the particular records you are looking for? Make sure if they're only open on that one day a week that that is the day you plan to be there and maybe not 2 days too late. 

The new family historian should start at the local library - they are open late hours and 7 days a week. The courthouse has limited business hours so you'll have to plan what offices you want to spend your time in the most. If you are on a limited time schedule you need to prioritize your research area in case you run out of time. Come well prepared with family group sheets, pedigree charts, and a list of your intended accomplishments. Good luck, we hope to see some of you this summer. Remember, we are only open on Tuesdays so put that on your research schedule.
