Genealogy is More Than Birth, Marriage, and Death

Description

Many genealogists use the standard records; birth, marriage, death and census, but fail to go further with their research. Many issues with the entries in the FamilySearch.org Family Tree could be resolved if researchers merely went to the next level of sources: Land and property, probate, newspapers, and so forth. Come and learn how to escape the BMD+Census Syndrome.
