The Year Ahead – August 8

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.

August 8 – Check for free record collections on Ancestry.com, Findmypast and MyHeritage. See if your library subscribes to institutional versions of any.


For many years, I only used the free record collections or the “free” weekends that some of these sites offered. I would gather lots of various documents and then spend time after the “free” weekends to review all the documents that I collected. Later, I visited my local library to access their library subscriptions to various genealogy websites. When I taught classes in genealogy, I always recommend the free records and websites first, then as you get further in your research, paying for subscriptions will be more beneficial.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
