Preserve Your Own Family Treasures!

Online historical records are full of clues that connect individuals and events in your family history. From military records to census records to old newspaper archives, there's an entire host of resources available when researching your family tree.

Besides online content, what family treasures are hidden in your shoebox, your attic, the cedar chest, even the garage? Look for family Bibles, photographs (found an old glass photograph of my great grandfather in his confederate uniform), diaries, letters and most importantly birth, marriage and death certificates. Scan and add them to your family tree---helping to preserve them for future generations. Older relatives, in particular, can often provide a wealth of information, stories, pictures and other family heirlooms.
