There are dozens, even hundreds, of different records you can use to compile your family history when doing genealogy research. Each one tells a different story about your ancestor. When you put them all together, resolve any discrepancies between them, and use your genealogical skills to read between the lines, you get a fuller, richer picture of your ancestor’s life and times. That’s the ultimate goal of the advanced
and/or professional researcher. Discovering as many records as you can that mention your ancestors is key to getting every last possible detail about their lives.
While you may think it’s a basic thing to use birth records in genealogy, these records can be useful for advanced researchers in entirely new ways. Every genealogist should start with using the basic birth, death, marriage, and census records pertaining to their ancestors. Here are some tips for how advanced researchers can use birth records to ensure success in their genealogy.

Lots of time is spent devoted to talking about limitations that hamper our photographic efforts. What happens when the weather isn’t right or there is no way to get the elements you see before you into the perfect composition? Or when your gear just isn’t capable of doing the things you want to do — like trying to create macro images without so much as a macro filter, let alone a lens, to work with.
But these aren’t the only limitations we photographers face. What about our own physical limitations? Myself, personally, I struggle with Crohn’s disease and a long history of blood clots — and I’m red-green colorblind, which can make post-processing a challenge. We all have such limitations. Maybe it’s aging knees or a bad back, or perhaps it is something else entirely. Even among those of us who are currently young and spry, a day could come when we’re not so
spry anymore.
So what do we do with these physical limitations? Well, in my opinion, we certainly don’t let them stop us from pursuing our passions. No, instead, we need to have the determination to work around such things and, perhaps even more importantly, we need to think creatively in order to come up with solutions that work for each of us. I can’t possibly list off all the different ways a photographer might get around the myriad physical limitations that he or she may
encounter, but I will give you a sampling of ideas so that you can see what I mean — and hopefully develop your own solutions!
