Grocery Shopping
The necessities of grocery shopping are usually the
mainstays of food: bread, milk and
eggs. Family history necessities are
usually birth certificates, marriages licenses and death certificates. Our grocery list is enhanced with fruits and
vegetables that add variety to our meals and balance out our diets. Similarly, census records, military records,
land and court records all add variety to our genealogy research and help
balance out the picture of our ancestors.
Finally, snacks; candy bars, ice cream, popcorn, chips
and soda the frills that add that special treat to our days and evenings. In family history work, our special treats
are obituaries, newspaper articles, letters, diaries and pictures.
Life would be boring if we ate the same thing every day;
and family history work would be bland if we only found birth, marriage and
death records. Boost your research; look
for and at other sources that just might add a surprise to your research!
