Hi Friends,
One of my favorite things about genealogy is how a single record can open up a whole new story. This week, I’m excited to share a fresh set of Free Genealogy Lookups that might just help you break through your own research roadblocks. Whether you’re searching for ancestors who served as Confederate soldiers, Connecticut officers, or early church members in Pennsylvania, these resources are designed to bring you closer to the people and stories that shaped your family tree.
If you haven’t already, consider subscribing to the Genealogy Podcast—each episode dives into real research problems, strategies, and the small wins that keep us all going. It’s a great way to stay inspired and pick up new techniques, no matter where you
are in your research journey.
Genealogy isn’t just about names and dates—it’s about discovering the context and connections that make your ancestors’ lives meaningful. This week’s featured records highlight the importance of military and church documents, especially for those who may have hit a wall with census or vital records. Sometimes, the answer
you need is tucked away in a pension file or a baptismal register. If you’re feeling stuck, remember that every new source is a chance to see your family’s story from a different angle. Keep looking, keep asking questions, and celebrate every discovery—big or small.
Happy Searching!
Will
