The Year Ahead – March 4

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.

March 4 – List all your female ancestors' maiden names (or as many as you can), then search for them in online collections.

Many of my branches end with my female ancestors because I don't have maiden names. Also, be careful if you have her maiden name but can't seem to find her parents, make sure you really have her maiden name and not a previous married name. When widows remarry, they often use their married name on their later marriage records. Sometimes, their children don't even realized that the name they have for their mother was a previous married name.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
