Have you visited Rick Crume’s Inside Genealogy website?
If you would like some help organizing your genealogy research, you need to visit Inside Genealogy.
The website is simple with two checklist choices. The first is Inside Genealogy’s United States Checklist, Free FamilySearch Edition. This checklist is a free downloadable PDF. Directions in the file say to make a copy of the PDF for each person or family you are researching. The PDF is writable and can be renamed and saved.
It is 65 pages in length with detailed instructions and record categories to be searched:
This is a fabulous aid for a researcher of any level of experience. Not only does it keep a person organized, but it reminds the researcher about the many types of records available on FamilySearch.
Although I consider myself a very organized person, I was intrigued enough by the free checklist to purchase the more encompassing paid version since it is very reasonably priced at $9.95.
The upgraded checklist contains 154 pages and includes detailed suggestions for the “big Four” sites – Ancestry, FamilySearch, Find My Past and MyHeritage – followed by Other Resources.
The paid checklist is formatted in the same way as the free United States PDF.
Note that, as the title states, the focus is on United States research.
I am impressed with both versions of these checklists and, for $9.95, which is little more than the cost of a premium coffee drink, the upgraded PDF is worth the small cost.
Take a moment and check out Inside Genealogy for yourself.
