Source Okay, so we are genealogists/researchers, and we continually dig and dig
to find the information on our ancestors that we are missing. At some point however, after
we have talked to grandma and grandpa and then drained every other relative you can find...
the questions begin to change.
It isn't so much who married who and when and where. But rather:
There are so very many different documents and pieces of paper containing many different
types of information. Some of these we can barter and trade information for from other researchers. However,
there are also many documents that require that we order them and sometimes this is done at a high cost.
I thought perhaps it would be helpful to have a section on just what type of information is on various types
of documents, so maybe it will keep someone from ordering an item that will not help them and in turn direct them
to the correct record type. Many of you might feel that this is info that everyone knows, but that isn't always true.
I will add that I will list the info that is "asked" for on these documents, there is no guarantee that it is always filled in.
