Find your Ancestors for Free part 3

If you haven't read part 1 or 2 please check them out here and here. For today's post I'm going to focus on smaller more localized help.

A great resource within your community is of course you local library, some libraries offer free use of ancestry.com through libraries personal computer. If you have a DE library card you can go on the Delaware library catalog (online) and use Heritage Quest. Check with your local libraries for any similar programs or materials they might have. 

Historical societies are also good places to get questions answered. If you know where your ancestory lived you can check with that areas local historical society and see if they can provide you with any information, documents, or even tips on other places to check! Preservation Directory is a great place to look for historical and preservation societies and as always don't forget, Google is your friend.

And last but not least for today, some blank forms you can print and use to better organize the information that you find. First we have blank census forms, and this web-sight has lots of free printable family tree templates.

I'll be back tomorrow to talk about ships lists names and origins. Remember feel free to ask me any questions! I'll do my best to get them answered.
