10 Things I Wish I’d Known When I Started Doing Genealogy

Hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it? We’ve all made mistakes with our genealogy research, especially when we were starting out. After a couple years of doing research that I couldn’t count on, I ended up starting over completely. If you’re getting started in genealogy research, you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration by doing things right from the outset.

Luckily, I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to. With this Orderly Roots guide, I share 10 different things I wish I’d known when I started doing genealogy research. Topics covered include:

  • Figuring out what information you can trust
  • Asking for help
  • Finding time for genealogy research
  • Staying focused
  • Paying attention to collateral lines

When you first start finding your roots it’s easy to get carried away the excitement and end up with a mess. I’ll let you in on a secret: You don’t have to do everything perfectly. But taking time to learn a little now can save you a lot of time later on as you grow your family tree. This guide can help you with that.

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
