The Year Ahead – January 19

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

January 19 – Call your local public library or state archive and arrange a tour of the genealogy department. Look for special collections, especially those that aren’t digitized.

Having an appointment for a tour is much better than just showing up and hoping they have time to give you a tour. Check out their website, if they have one and get familiar with what they offer and thus you can ask about their locations during your tour.

Don’t forget that some historical societies and genealogical societies have resources too that might not be located in the Public Library or State Archive. 

Remember to have fun and Just Do Genealogy!
