Everything! I need to know everything in order to do the best possible job for you. You may think you don't have much information, but you may be surprised to learn you have more right in your home than you think. Or perhaps Mom, Dad, grandparents, Aunts, Uncles or other family members has information or records. The following is a list of the type of records:

• Baby books
• Wedding Book
• Marriage Certificate
• Obituary
• Funeral Book
• Report Cards
• Graduation Diploma
• Yearbooks
• Baptismal Records
• Journal
• Diary
• Old Letters
• Scrapbooks
• Bible
• Family Traditions
• Copies of research you or others have done.
• Go to "Getting Started" for questions to ask.

     Perhaps what you know will be very scanty, but try to provide copies of everything you have. This will give me a better foundation upon which to build. And it will save time, money and avoid costly duplication of searches already completed.

NOTE: Provide "copies" of your family information or documents. It is not a good idea to give your original to anyone as they could be lost or inadvertently destroyed.
