Research Notes

Family historians and genealogists are notorious gatherers—they collect all types of information about individuals, families, groups of people, and places that never make it into print. Research Notes published here are filled with that type of information—all of it taken from original records and compiled into small, affordable booklets. Many of the titles in this collection come directly from the files of Professional Genealogists who have already analyzed and interpreted the data for you. Their notes contain facts about your ancestors that were taken from original sources. They cite vital records, church registers, deeds, court records, tax lists, wills, and estate records—every record that mentioned an ancestral family. Some Research Notes include digital images of original documents. Take a look at the samples below. Don’t forget that you can publish your Research Notes here!
