"Google" It !

"When you encounter a new location, a new time period, a new religion, or a new military

conflict in your family history, where do you go to learn about it so you can do better

genealogy research? What are your favorite resources for genealogy education?"

These are questions that have been asked on how I do my research for genealogy.

I must admit that most of my research is done on ancestry.com. It is my favorite source for

the information that I need. When I can't find the answer I am looking for on ancestry.com.,

I look at Find-A-Grave.


When I encounter a new location, a new time period, a new religion, or a new military

 conflict in my family history, I always ask "Google". Google is like the encyclopedias that I

used to read as a child. The encyclopedias answered so many of my questions growing up.

When others curled up with a good book to read, I curled up with an encyclopedia and

learned all about the world; about different places, different cultures, and all the history in

these locations.

I have always looked at Google as being my internet encyclopedias. I have enjoyed many an

hour just going from one site to another learning about all kinds of things.

I always tell everyone, when looking for answers to just "Google it!" Google will give you a

selection of sites that you may find your answer in. In a recent conversation with a friend,

she told me that she was the "Queen of Google". I have to agree that there has to be a club

or group of us that are "Queens of Google."

So when searching for an answer, and you run out of options, try and "Google it!"
