What organization do u belong to as your family researcher?   It is a great idea to belong to ur local historical society.   Have u checked it out yet?  The society may have information on your relatives.  Historical societies sometimes sponsor Genealogy classes.   They may also need volunteers which, of course, is a valuable experience.   Would love to know if you found ur local Historical Society a great idea?  cga
