Top Tips: Ancestry.com
Ancestry is one of the mainstays of online genealogy research, and that means that one of the keys to success in 2017 will be to say up to date on the best way to use the site. Nancy Hendrickson, the author of the brand new Unofficial Ancestry.com Workbook: A How-to Manual for Tracing Your Family Tree on the #1 Genealogy Website joins Lisa to talk about one of the features you should master this year: hinting.
Nancy’s Tips:
* Don’t use the website, use the mobile app – filter “show me hints on all the Jones”, and “stories”.* Work on one surname or person at a time.* Ancestry casts a wide net – Quickly skim down and look for stuff that doesn’t apply, clear them out.
Best Websites: HeritageQuest
David Fryxell, author of the 101 Best Websites for Tracing Your Roots, helps set you up for success with HeritageQuest, a long-time favorite genealogy website that may be available through your local library.
