Where Do You Get Tips?

Welcome!

Every day a fresh, short idea to get your genealogy research started. Tips are archived here and also appear on Facebook. Scroll down for ways to receive the tips and to interact with other tip readers.

Tips are usually generated while I'm doing my own research--often for my weekly how-to genealogy newsletter, Casefile Clues. Tips are down-to-earth and realistic. I'm very much engaged in active genealogy research--not just writing about it. You won't find copied and pasted stuff here--tips are made up fresh and on the fly. Once in a while we may have a similar tip from a year or so ago, but they aren't recycled.

Tips are free and suggestions are welcomed.

Enjoy!
