Genealogy Search Research Tip

Restricting your genealogy search to just the facts that have been handed down through the family can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction in your research. The name that everyone knew Great-Grandpa Henry by might not actually be the name on his birth certificate. It's often better to use that information as a basis of what to look for but, for example, don't exclude the Heinrich's and Hank's from your search as it just might be what you are looking for.
