A to Z Challenge – R is for Research

Research.  It’s what we do as genealogists – whether amateur, like me, or professional.  We’re researchers and detectives on the hunt for facts and clues. We haunt libraries, archives and court houses.  We spend hours reading microfilm and fiche hoping for a hint of our family history.  We spend even more hours scouring the world on the internet.

Research = Fun for many of us. It’s the thrill of the hunt.  The answers are out there somewhere, we hope. That’s what keeps us going.
