Once you have your list of questions you need answers to, the next step is determining where you need to look for the answers. We will go into greater detail about each of these record types in later lessons, but for now I would like to introduce you to the types of genealogical resources available to you and how they can help you to find the answers to your questions. Each question that you have most likely has several sources where you can look for the answer. For example, a birth date can usually be found on birth certificates, census records, marriage records, death certificates, obituary notices and so on. Click on any of the questions below to find a list of records which you should search and the order in which you should search them in.
