I am a genealogist by advocation. My main obsession these days is to research
my family history. And while the Internet has been a boon to genealogy,you can find
nearly anything you want, the genealogical data available online is hard to verify.
So while the Internet is a great place to start for genealogy, it's not yet the place
to finish if you're doing more in-depth research into your family history. A good
source of info. The National Archives has all the census data. The Library of
Congress has a huge genealogy section. The National Genealogical Society is also
good. Best of all is the Latter Day Saints (LDS) library. I am glad to finally be
able to share my findings with other relatives. I am not a historian but history has
always fascinated me. I don't claim that my genealogical articles are totally
conclusive. Therefore I welcome critical notes,suggestions, questions and corrections
