Knowing What or Who you are Seeking – a good place to start from.
Packing what you will need for the Journey – smart preparation.
Learning how to Find Your Past – essential education.
Accessing Research Sites – essential preparation.
Recording People and Places found Along the Way – necessary strategy.
Verifying the facts with Primary Documents – essential process.
Digging deep for Stories in Newspapers – additional tours to include.
Getting the Perspective from Living Relatives – optional tours to explore.
Writing each Ancestral Story as a Vignette – excellent destination.
Compiling a Family History Book – a bonus way of sharing your journey.
My Live Cast from today gives you a summary from my point of view.

My exciting news for today, contained in the Live Cast above, was the publication of my ‘Dear Genealogist’ poem in the February edition of the Family Tree Magazine at http://www.family-tree.co.uk. The poem appears on page 19 of that edition in the Family History Fun section. It’s part of the Dear Paul column. I was delighted to see it displayed there. Thanks to Paul Chiddicks I can now say that I have been published in the Family Tree Magazine. You can read my poem in a previous post from August 2021. ‘Dear Genealogist‘
