10 Best Genealogy Research Tips and Tricks: Part 1

I took the top ten genealogy research tips that Genealogy TV viewers watched the most and compiled them into two episodes. Think of it as “Best of…” videos. This is Part 1 of this two part series.
In part one we’ll see clips about how to find private trees on Ancestry, who is working on the same lines as you, extracting census data to help break down brick walls, the social security death index, and discovery experiences on FamilySearch.
