Another list to which I belong suggested we send our helpful hints for research. Here's
mine:


Happy New Year Listmembers:

I have been online since June 1996 and doing genealogy research via the internet since
August 1998. I've learned so much about everything it hardly seems that my brain can
hold it all.

>From the beginning I have saved a lot of e-mails and they have been properly filed in
their own little file folders.

Going back and reading those e-mails often give different meaning in view of the
knowledge I've acquired. Historical items make more sense now. Names that didn't mean
anything at the time now sometimes fit into my own ancestry. Suggestions from other
listmembers can be applied to my search. My file folders are a veritable treasure trove.

So, my favorite hint is to reread your file folders once in a while. You may be
surprised by what you find.
