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

Save Yourself Countless Hours & Learn From
My Mistakes

Hindsight is 20/20, isn’t it? We’ve all made mistakes with our genealogy research, especially when we were starting out.

Don't give up like I did!

After a couple of years of doing research that I couldn’t count on, I gave up for 10 years and then started over completely. Don't be like me! Instead, learn from my mistakes. If you’re getting started in genealogy research, you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration by learning these fundamental things at the outset. 

With this downloadable Orderly Roots guide, I share 10 different things I wish I’d known when I started doing genealogy research. You'll learn:

  • What information you can trust so you don’t have to toss anything later
  • A simplified version of a research log
  • How (and who!) to ask for help
  • Find time for consistent genealogy research
  • Tips for staying focused
  • How to pay attention to collateral lines

When you first start finding your roots it’s easy to get carried away by 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 will help you with that.

I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to.
