The tools I use as a genealogist are diverse, from archival research to digital databases. I frequently delve into old church records, local historical archives, and online genealogical platforms, where millions of records are stored and indexed for easy access. Technology has revolutionized the way we trace our ancestors, allowing us to search records from across the globe with just a few clicks. But even with the convenience of online resources, genealogy often requires patience and persistence. Sometimes, the trail goes cold, and it’s only through digging into lesser-known archives or visiting local libraries and town halls that the next clue emerges.
