The Year Ahead – November 18

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.

November 18 – Don’t let ancestral nicknames – such as Beth, Bess, Betty, Liz or Lizbeth for Elizabeth – trip you up. Broaden your online searches to include nicknames or just a first initial.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
