Next, improve your genealogical results by learning the five steps of basic research. Other gems are the databases listed in Online Search, the twelve printable forms (see Free Charts), the state-by-state resource guide and the teacher’s guide (in HTML and PDF.) I also enjoyed Tips and Tricks, where enthusiasts share what has worked for them."
