You will always have some ancestors that you can't find information on ... that's the way it is. Records have been lost (or never made), so it is inevitable. But there are answers out there. You might look for someone for years, and all of a sudden come upon what you're looking for in a source you never saw before. It helps if you keep a list of those ancestors that you're stuck on.

     When you are ready to put it all together, I'd suggest putting it on computer. Today's computer programs allow you to manipulate the data quite easily. Most programs allow you to print it out ... and some even create reports that you can put directly into book form.

     I'll add more to this section (especially relative to computers & genealogy) in the next few months.
