What do I need to begin using the Abrams Foundation Historical Collection for my family history research?
Begin by using family resources at home. Check with your family members for the existence of diaries, journals, letters, family Bibles, etc. Using a pedigree chart (PDF), “map” your family relationships and include possible dates and places. Reading a book on beginning genealogy research will help you get organized and give you ideas on where to look for information. The Abrams Collection does include some circulating books on how to get started.
