The Family Tree
There are numerous genealogy sites out there that feature an assortment of articles on documentation of records for doing your genealogy search. We will look at how genealogy sites and the tools they offer will assist you to carry on a search.
Genealogy sites have plenty of tools that you use to keep records of your searches, but keeping records is not enough. You must know where to search next once you have found that piece of information that you are looking for. Genealogists usually draw conclusions from their records, to continue to dig deeper into the roots of their ancestry, which is often referred to as and audit trail.
An 'audit trail' requires that the thought process and analysis be included by documenting sources. Genealogy sites generally offer some software that is capable of analysing the data and there are services from expert genealogists.
The fees from experts vary from site to site, but they are not always needed unless you get stuck and cannot find the additional information that you are looking for in your search or if you cannot go any further on your own.
There are many purposes for an audit trail but one of the main reasons is for subsequent searches to obtain the records that were used and see how the initial researcher came to their conclusions. Keeping records is very important, along with maintaining them in a secure and good
condition.
Suggestions for making an audit trail
When you make an assumption, clearly state why you came to the conclusion and any other information that could be useful. This can be the on the front page of your record and can be edited at anytime, remember that new information changes the search direction.
By learning any historical background of the time period and region, will allow you to have a better of idea of what direction may be the next direction to head in. Most genealogy sites offer this information to you for this purpose.
Learn as much information as you can about your ancestors, such as how they lived, their culture and any other relevant information that will help guide you in your search.
Cite your sources, as this can lead you back to the information you need, or may add additional information for future searches that are completed.
Writing notes in detail will make it easier for people who carry on your work in the future. This will allow them to see your thought process.
Make sure that you information is as accurate as possible, do not jump to conclusions.
You can make the search nearly effortless, by leaving and audit trail which allows you or others to carry on the search easily.
