They will also help the researcher understand the world in which these ancestors lived and lead to other clues on how to find out more information about them. “How-to” books on genealogy and taking genealogy classes can be great aids to research by providing important tips regarding sources and methods. Some areas have genealogy societies; joining societies in geographic areas of interest provides access to their newsletters, which contain useful information about genealogy in that area.
