Beginner's Information

Everyone is at this point in time a beginner on this journey.  Even someone into the genealogical field for along time.  Why?  Because ephemera may be easily overlooked or worse tragically lost.

• Do not disregard any paperwork found among family papers.  
• Set aside all documentation not immediately used in a safe place.  For you never know when they will provide information on a story or another documents data.
• Do keep in mind that a family genealogy is not ever completed until a really thorough search in each families history comes to a deadend.  And even then it isn't completed.

• Do learn more about & use acid-free paper storage options if you are not already using them. 
• Ephemera can include your Grandparents photos, its not just documents.
