======================================================================
==> Census Searching Tips
======================================================================
When the census takers entered information, they did not always use
the person�s legal name such as Jane Anna Martin. It could have been
Jennie or Ann or even a nickname of Polly. Sometimes they just used
initials, or Thos for Thomas, Sml for Samuel, and sometimes they put
their middle initial first. Example Samuel Martin Robinson would be
M Samuel Robinson.

This is just a reminder to use...

======================================================================
==> When the Index Does Not Help
======================================================================
The continuing release of additional indexes and finding aids opens up
new worlds to family historians and relieved us of the burden of hours
of page-by-page searching. I have found records in minutes that would
have been virtually impossible to find otherwise.

======================================================================
==> Relationship Question?
======================================================================
What is my relationship with my cousin's daughter? I understand that
my children will be her 2nd cousins, but does that make me her uncle?
Her father is my first cousin, since her father's father is my father's
brother.

======================================================================
==> Famous Family Trees
======================================================================
Search our growing collection of celebrity trees to see if you're
related to a host of famous people including royalty, politicians and
heroes from the wild west.
