Getting Started Guides

Are you new to genealogy?  Rather than reinvent the wheel, we wanted to provide links to two regional societies that have done great work in providing advice to help you get started on the right track.

Rock County Genealogical Society has a page devoted to 'Getting Started - A Beginner's Guide for New Family Researchers'
McHenry County Illinois Genealogical Society has a page entitled 'Genealogy Steps to Success'
