Looking for Clues at Home

After you have recorded the information you know the next step is to look around the house for clues. Clues can be found in many places. Keep your eyes open for journals, certificates, a family bible, passports, old letters and papers. Oh, and don't forget the scrapbooks and photo albums. Diaries and journals may have dates of birth or death. The Center for Family History and Genealogy at BYU has an online lesson called "Gathering Information".
