In addition to census data, birth marriages and deaths, it’s worth looking for other types of family history sources, for example immigration and naturalization records, divorce papers, medical records, land titles, education registers and obituaries. All of these additional family history sources can be valuable in helping you to open up new avenues of family history research.
In your search for the family history, ‘cast your net wide’. Local newspaper offices or libraries can give you or get you copies of obituary notices which can give you multiple family history search leads. Obituary notices contain lots of useful information. If you are in any doubt, take a look at the Obits section of your local paper. In the older obituaries, longer write-ups are given on family members when they died telling about not only the person but about their life and in some cases about when their family line settled in a certain area of the country. Or you can Search the Obituary Collections at arcalife.com along side of more than a billion other family history records.
