Thanks for another great video and the handout. They are always helpful. There aren't many channels that I would sit through a 20 minute advertisement for (just yours and a couple of others), but I am glad that I did. The car that it advertised is exactly what I need at this point in my life (Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV). Now, to magically have a loaded wallet. :) I am having a hard time overcoming old habits of just researching and not keeping notes or having a research plan. Now, when I don't make the notes and I can't remember where I found this or get back to that, I can hear your voice saying, "keep research notes!" Like with other parts of my life, I have to just do it, even when old habits are very insistent. I will get there! Thanks for all that you do for the genealogy community. Have a blessed weekend.
Wow... Suzanne, please don't feel like you need to sit through that many ads. Watch 30 seconds or more and then hit skip (if it is skippable). I should still get paid if you watch 30 seconds of it. Thanks for your support. You're a super star.
This is so helpful for me. I am a "list person". I made an index card with the 12 steps and taped it on my desktop. I am easily distracted and this helps me stay focused!
You're one of the first genealogy coaches I've ran across. You are by far my favorite. I agree with others that you have been extremely helpful since they start of my journey. Your topics and approach to them are the most enjoyable to listen to.
This is so good. I am rebuilding my grandmother's branches from scratch for... well... reasons... and am planning on doing it with my other grandparents as well. Part of the reason was exactly this. 1. I had no check list and 2. I was getting really overwhelmed by the hints. Now instead of adding people 1st, dealing with hints 2nd, I built 1/4 my tree out as far as I could (I've done it before so I know a lot of who should be there), and now I'm going through each person's hints, leaving the tree hints last... well mostly. If there's something I don't know, like q spouse's maiden name, I cheat a little and see if anyone gave me a possible place to start.
Wonderful! Thank you, Connie! Ancestry Hints - when another has built their tree incorrectly, Ancestry offers the incorrect sources as hints. You have to be so careful, logical & questioning as to whether these suggested birth, census, marriage & death records are the correct ones, even before you look at the member trees. Sometimes, they take you down the wrong road, with a person that has the same name as your research focus.
I add the documents individually to my ancestor files. After that I blog the document and then transcribe the document - I still keep binders with documents I also keep the really old bibles -especially originals. I blog so I can “take” family history to present to others if requested. I also show them how to get to my blogs. I am a 4rd generation genealogist and am gently training a fourth generation! He knows what I am doing and actually does go on the blogs and READS them!!!!!!!
Phenomenal video. There are a lot of sides that get difficult to research further back than 1850 but I’m sure the answers are out there - Onslow County is not a burned county like I’ve ran into a lot of another grandparent’s side, it was a lot smaller before Camp Lejeune, and most of my surnames there aren’t too common
Hey Wyatt... I don't know if I have shared this with you or not, but I have NC Ancestry page.... with a little info on Onslow County. ncancestry.com/north-carolina-genealogical-research/onslow-county/ As I work in the state, I add stuff to my website. Just some Ghee-Whiz info for you.
Great tips, thank you! I got confused with #9 Transcribe Documents Tip. I know it's just me but it flew over my head lol. I'll have to watch that tip on repeat more than a few times lol.
Hello Barb, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love all over you, I would love to be your friend, where are you from?
I have been plodding thru bits of paper and notes and stuff just so I can keep where I am on a search or which branch I am searching. Too often I just write on any slip handy and have to stop doing that. Note books for each family branch is my goal. I have file boxes for family branches already, just got to get this paper bits thing under control.
I love all this great information. I have been trying to do my research on my own, and I have come across many roadblocks. Knowing some steps and tricks to genealogy researching is so helpful. Thank you!
Hello. My Grandmother and her siblings were left by the parents to be raised by other familys. I know all the parties involved byt how do I connect them in my tree. thanks
I would love to get the handout, will I be able to access it if I become a member on youtube now? Or is it only available as an individual purchase since this video was posted in 2022.
You can buy just the handout at GenealogyTV.org/handouts. Otherwise you would be scrolling forever in the post to find it as a channel member. Channel membership is best for recent videos and their handouts.
For some reason, and I'm probably not doing something correctly LOL, I'm a channel member that has gotten handouts before, but today when I go to Community Tab, the most recent shown is from 4 weeks ago. And nothing with links for the handouts. I can't find a place to log in so please tell this dummy what I'm not doing! :)
Dottie, Under you account that I'm responding to, you are not a member. However, I searched the member list and do see a member with your name... so I'm guessing you have two Google accounts. Check the other google account. When you log into your other account, you can go to your icon in the upper right corner and drop down to purchases and memberships. There you should be able to confirm your membership. And BTW, you're no dummy. Many, myself included, ran into this same problem.
question I am new to citing sources how do you know how to cite what sources on the research notes pages for like find a grave from ancestry, or census or newspers clippings etc.
It is too detailed to answer here. Just put who what where when for the document you can always use it URL if you had to until you learn how to do source citations. Think about how you could find this document again if you had to 10 years from now.
I am finding that some of the history out there is false. How do I know it's false? I have the original documents. I'm talking about names, dates, number of children in the family. My grandfather was born in 1879 and my grandmother in 1890 so I have a lot of original documents. How do you correct some of these things? One is as basic as my mother's sister's name. It's Marguerite and many places have it as Margaret.
I know this may not be the video to ask this question but, I found a marriage record for ancestor can you tell me why they would put red X's next to the place of birth and a red number in the area of the place of marriage?
Donna, I'm not sure without seeing the record. It might have been a copy of the original. The number might be the original. The red x in place of the birth, I'm not sure, but it might have been hard to read the original or they didn't know when they were born.

@@GenealogyTV Thank you, Connie. You're the super star.🙂
This is so helpful for me. I am a "list person". I made an index card with the 12 steps and taped it on my desktop. I am easily distracted and this helps me stay focused!
I'm so like that as well and I was going to write it down too...index card is a great tip thanks!
Thanks. Me too!... I'm definitely a list, chart, graphics, visual anything maker.
Great idea. Same problem here.

LOL... I got it. That's awesome. Love your handle BTW. Chief Family Genealogy Officer... love it.
You've been amazing in my genealogy journey - started in 2020!
Thank you.
Connie, thank you for all of your wonderful hints! Your new setting is so perfect! Love, P ❣️
You are so welcome! Thank you for supporting the channel.

Good thoughts -- both in your list and the idea of doing a list in the first place! The new background is a fun touch.
Thanks

I am like you!
I’m starting over with what little research I have done and this will be so helpful. Thank you so much.

Not this one.
Thanks for all the help Connie
My pleasure.
THank you
Welcome!
Could you possibly do a snippet on how you are using those macros for the references please. 🙏
Good idea.
Hello. My Grandmother and her siblings were left by the parents to be raised by other familys. I know all the parties involved byt how do I connect them in my tree. thanks
Thanks bunches
You bet
I wish I could be completely taken care of so I could spend every waking hour on genealogy.
Me too!
Thank you, very helpful ~ July 2024 :)

Do you help research others records
I help teach you how to research the records. The best way is through the Genealogy TV Academy. genealogytv.org/about-genealogy-tv-academy/
I know this may not be the video to ask this question but, I found a marriage record for ancestor can you tell me why they would put red X's next to the place of birth and a red number in the area of the place of marriage?
Donna, I'm not sure without seeing the record. It might have been a copy of the original. The number might be the original. The red x in place of the birth, I'm not sure, but it might have been hard to read the original or they didn't know when they were born.
I can’t find how to get the handout. Help please 😊. It is probably simple but I am new, use my iPhone and I’m very technologically challenged.
Nancy, I just reposted this one. Apparently people could not access the handout from the link. Something was goofy with it.
Do you not buy the birth, marriage and death certificates?
Only if needed. FamilySearch often has the marriage certificates for free.
