Let Google help you on your genealogy search
A screenshot of the main Google page. I think one of the things that happens as we begin to get deep into our genealogical research is that we lose sight of the forest for the trees. Our research becomes so detail oriented that we forget that performing the easiest tasks can produce some rewarding results. We get so bogged down in the specialty databases (Ancestry, Fold3, Genealogy Bank, FamilySearch and others) when we’re looking for particular ancestors that we forget the first stop we make when we’re doing a search for anything else: Google. Have you ever done a search for an ancestor on Google? In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were many local history books published in the United States, especially New Jersey. If there’s a word you’d like to leave out of any search results, precede it by a hyphen. Use a wildcard: An asterisk to find missing words in a phrase. You can have Google look for synonyms by using the tilde or ~. For more tips, see Google’s operators page.
