GOOD
LUCK RESEARCHING THIS SUMMER!
The
Sussex County Genealogical Society takes a break during the summer.
This is a chance for everyone to take advantage of what they have
learned from our meetings and possibly do some on-site research.
Some
tips for planning your research trip are:
- Contact
the local historical/genealogical society in the town you are traveling
to to confirm their days of operation and hours. (find them
through Google or www.usgenweb.com)
- Ask if they have anyone on staff who may have
knowledge of the family you are researching
- Ask for rules of the repository your are
visiting (i.e., what you can bring in, fees for copies, parking, etc.)
- Check what other possible research sources are
in the same area
- DO NOT take your originals documents, but make
copies of them
- Do
your homework--get as much information as possible on the family before
you go and make a list of questions you want to have answered.
- Keep an open mind and copy as much information
that may be connected
- Be sure to note the source information so you
don't have to redo the steps on a later trip
- Have fun!

Although
the Society does not hold membership meetings during the summer months
(traffic and parking in Rehoboth Beach can be intimidating in the
summer!), Genealogy Bytes will continue. Be sure to check the tab
for Computer Group for details.
Our next general
membership meeting will be held Saturday, September 18, 2010.
The
meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Rehoboth Beach Public Library
(upstairs), 226 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Parking is plentiful and free. There is
no
charge for the meeting and anyone interested in researching their
family history is welcome.
