“The Checklist looks really good, and I think it will be helpful to a lot of people to remind them what's out there! I'm sure I'll be using it, too!”

Linda M., Genealogist, MN

These checklists will be not only motivation, but give (especially beginning) genealogists the confidence to persevere in their endeavors. It's so important to remember where you have already looked—and how long it’s been since you did.”
