Join a Social Group

Genealogical research is quickly becoming one of the most popular hobbies in the country, and there are a plethora of social groups to join. Specialized genealogical societies, for example, typically involve physical communities of like-minded individuals. Joining a few family tree research groups on social media may also be beneficial. Facebook, for example, has a plethora of user groups.

These aren't always useful for specific information, but they can be beneficial for discussing general research strategies and methods of preserving family roots and heritage. At the same time, you might meet someone who can assist you with your research. Local social media groups, especially if your family has deep geographical roots, can be unexpected gold mines.
